"Post-structuralism" includes Levi-Strauss, who saw himself as a scientist and argued that mythology could be comprehended by a universal mathematical formula? And at the same time Althusser, who argued that Levi-Strauss represented "structuralist ideology" and positioned himself as the representative of orthodox Marxism within the French Communist Party against the dominant neo-Stalinist revisionism?
And "post-modernism"? Are Foucault and Derrida "post-modernists"? If so, what the hell does that mean?
Is it obscurantism to attempt to describe social and cultural formations today, not to mention characteristics of the mode of production, that have made the world different from the modern/industrial period?
Sorry, putting an argument into questions is disingenuous, but I really don't understand this kind of knee-jerk reaction from people who subscribe to an intellectual/political tradition that attempted to describe a new historical period and recruited the most jargon-laden and obscurantist bourgeois philosophical fashion of the day to do so.
