Friday, March 01, 2002 Postmodern Theology In an item titled "Is brevity the soul of blogging?," AKMA asks: "May we feel free to criticize RB's tactics and diction without implying that he and my hypothetical Jody operate at the same pitch of sophistication?" Now, without going into Jody's elliptical euphemism or the question of its rhetorical impact -- one is tempted to say illocutionary force -- I would wonder whether she, on perusing AKMA's homepage, would leap to the conclusion, as I did immediately, that The Reverend Adam has spent much time with the works of Mark C. Taylor. Banging around the place somewhere I have his Erring: A Postmodern A/Theology and something called Alterity (which has this great psychedelic cover shot of a guy bent down touching this big ol' seismic crack in a highway; I bought it for the cover) as well as a collection of seminal readings he put together titled Deconstruction in Context: Literature and Philosophy. He also edited a rather good collection called Critical Terms for Religious Studies. I got some big insight from something he wrote in the introductory essay, but now I forget. I'll have to dig it out from under the couch or wherever it's gotten to. These things have a life of their own. Also, though it's not by Taylor, I had this one sitting on top of my washing machine downstairs for the longest time -- A Magic Still Dwells: Comparative Religion in the Postmodern Age. So hey, Padre, you ask Jody whether she can do that. And then let's talk some more about what you mean by "sophistication." OK? 10:06 AM | link |
