Stream of consciousness response to Patrick's presentation: Overview of article...mentions Dixon's Growth through Change (Dartmouth seminar). Marxist--economics. Deconstructionists: opposed to the notion of truth (or at least positivism). Meaning problematic; messages intertwined, intertextual; rhetoric problematic, literary analogy. Deconstructing the Declaration of Independence. Need to read Jeffersons "outtakes"--e.g., slavery.Men, mankind. What's capitalized. Creator=God, author relationship. Universal "truth," "self-evident"; morally "equal," maybe in all entitled to the same things. How to write when there's no "truth"? Phenomenon of the autobiographical in academic writing. out of fashion lately, but still not a bad idea for ourselves--writing the "here's where I stand" intro.
Marxist critiques. Calvin Klein jeans example. Did the economic situation dictate the buyer's choice in the example? Did she make a conscious decision? Ideologies leave textual evidence--most interesting to Patrick. Ideologies "seem" like truth unless interrogated. Marxist analysis of Texas' parking regulations. See LSU's. Is Marxist theory helpful? Patrick sees it as a narrow lens. LH thinks our "little truths" are Marxist (in what way)--learned from an economic environment? How people interact with one another, an exchange economy in human relations (not narrow).
