They were kind of like ‘A Beautiful Mind’ minus the chalkboard but with a greater emphasis on manly handshakes, the Northern stands, social clubs and multicolored and uncountable varieties of different font types.

Yes Col, the immoderators on this site have much to answer for.

Such beauty, such eloquent prose, such insight - a postmodernist genius destroyed at a stroke.

[censored] vandals!

I'll add a PS here. No doubt you are familiar with Seldon's commentary on Roland Barthes. I think it applies equally to ' luded.

" The virtuous writer recognises the artifice of all writing and proceeds to make play with it. .... Avant garde writers ( such as 'luded) allow the unconscious of language to rise to the surface ... (they) undermine the censorship of the signified and its repressive insistence on one meaning."

I'm sure you will agree on this fine point Col.

Luke 4:24 in the New Testament holds more weight than most would ascribe to it, Uncle Bitter.

You can't destroy something which only ever existed as a societal construct in the first place. 'Luded was just told to Foucaulf.

i just love it that roland was a semiotician. such a wonderful word........very 'woody'

Quote

Semiotics is the study of meaning-making, the study of sign process and meaningful communication. It is not to be confused with the Saussurean tradition called semiology which is a subset of semiotics.

You dare to compare the great man to a mere artifact, "a societal construct" ? You deserve a jolly good thrashing Skuit.

From what I understand Michel Foucault was quite partial to the administration and reception of, as you so eloquently put it, a jolly good flogging.

Shhhhh......keep the lid on it....

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
