[lbo-talk] Chomsky on Foucault

[Chris Doss]

As for Baudrillard, I read him about fifteen years ago at the insistence of 
some acquaintances. And I ws utterly shocked that these people would think 
that this derivative, empty _drivel_ could be considered profound. I had the 
feeling that his conception of America was an amalgam of 1950's era 
advertisement styles, at best-- it was like reading those dopey 
architectural manifestoes that pushed the reps of Le Corbusier and Mies Van 
der Rohe.

---
BTW, the book America is quite popular among the Russian intelligentsia. The 
Russian translation has a long preface applying the analysis to Russia.

Pomo is quite the big thing here (it's called "conceptualism" here). People 
deconstruct KPSS texts.

Pretty silly.
