You are Jacques Lacan! Arguably the most important
psychoanalyst since Freud, you never wrote
anything down, and the only works of yours are
transcriptions of your lectures. You are
notoriously difficult to understand, but at
least you didn't talk about the penis as much
as other psychoanalysts. You died in 1981.
What 20th Century Theorist are you?

Astonishing how little this blurb actually gets across of why Lacan was amazing. Damn good quiz though. Especially as it brought to my attention just how many postmodernist types I have actually read with great pleasure and interest. I had sort of been treating postmodernism as aggravating due to a tendency to associate it with Foucault. Foucault *is* aggravating. Postmodernism is nifty.

having found the mystery of getting livejournal to send the email that activates the account( u hit the button over and over again) an account has thus been started.
i was directed to this ever so intteligent monolog by someone i met at a thing elsewhere.
and i am grateful.
one might ponder the shaking of the tree of reality should the taxons stick to their bony arguments and declare the monotreme a reptile.
what would this do to our decisions about process as identity?
