Postmodernism: Borges and "The Garden of Forking Paths"
http://ssupostmodernism.blogspot.com/2009/03/borges-and-garden-of-forking-paths.html
Monday, March 23, 2009. Borges and "The Garden of Forking Paths". If you don't have the Norton anthology, fret not dear friend! You can read the story online here: http:/ courses.essex.ac.uk/lt/.

Postmodernism: Ursula Le Guin
http://ssupostmodernism.blogspot.com/2009/03/ursula-le-guin.html
Tuesday, March 24, 2009. READ THE STORY BEFORE READING THIS GUIDELINE! I'm sending out these questions with the understanding that they're haunting. I'm sorry. They've been haunting me too and I just want to share the anguish. 1 Is perfection for the many worth the suffering of the few? How about perfection for the many and suffering for the one? How about perfection for half and suffering for half? Why does the weight of the majority make a difference? Best love, . Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Does the Starbucks example adequately deal with this question? The stats are i...

Postmodernism: February 2009
http://ssupostmodernism.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 25, 2009. Welcome to ssu postmodernism. Ok friends. here is how i hope things will work:. A presenter writes a post, in lieu of emailing the class. after that we, as a class, comment on each post rather than emailing our papers every week. after that, it's a free-for-all. hopefully we can add on to and improve our class discussion. If you are a class-member, you are a part owner of this blog. take initiative, make changes you feel are necessary, you get it. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
