heh. I would say "cultural logic," but I'm not sure what that is.

"Many of the literary techniques we now think of as 'postmodern' can be found in abdundance in Don Quixote."

"Many of the literary techniques we now think of as 'postmodern' can be found in abundance in Tristam Shandy."

Was it John Stuart Mill who had the line about the best society being the one people would arrange democratically if they were then to be assigned roles and positions in that society at random?

Why would I have taken Media Studies?

You're missing an italics tag there.

Why would I have taken media studies? (Why did you capitalize it? It is a class not a major.)

― lord pooperton (ex machina), Tuesday, 13 June 2006 21:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Herodotus, Thucydides, Gibbon

― nabisco (nabisco), Tuesday, 13 June 2006 21:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Gibbons, Lemurs, Bonobos

(I am flashing back to the semester I took a classics overview and a class about primates at the same time.)

― nabisco (nabisco), Tuesday, 13 June 2006 21:13 (seventeen years ago) link

(Why did you capitalize it? It is a class not a major.)

This is for another thread, perhaps, but I'd be more inclined to capitalize the name of a class than the name of a major. As in: "I took History 101 last quarter since I plan to be a history major."

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 13 June 2006 21:14 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, I'll be over in the corner reading YA if anyone needs anything.

― Laurel (Laurel), Tuesday, 13 June 2006 21:16 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes, that cap style really helps:

"I took Living Primates."
"I heard that class was pretty easy."

"I took living primates."
"Against their will?"

that doesn't seem like it is refering to a particular media studies class

― lord pooperton (ex machina), Tuesday, 13 June 2006 21:21 (seventeen years ago) link

Forget it. The whole thing was a jaymc-poke, anyway.

"After this class, whenever you see some statistic being thrown around to make a point, you'll be able to tell whether it's being distorted or not."

Said as if this is going to be the coolest party trick ever, and chicks in bikinis are going to rub up against you asking for your statistical know-how regarding, I dunno, sunscreen and cancer rates.

I have never had a professor talk about Ayn Rand, other than dismissively

All the economics people I knew were anti neoliberal

― lord pooperton (ex machina), Tuesday, 13 June 2006 21:41 (seventeen years ago) link

hmm, precisely NONE of my econ. professors had any love for ayn rand. not even the monetarist/neoliberal/milton friedman-lovin' ones.

one philosophy professor i had called rand's books "nietzsche for dummies."
