THEORETICAL CONCEPTS IN POSTMODERNISM: DEAD SHOOT

The live shoot to theoretical concepts in postmodernism leads to The Ten Commandments of the Postmodern.

The following lists were abandoned by THE PROGRAMME while work was in progress. They are still made accessible, however, because they may provide useful links to critical theory for some readers in their incomplete state.

HERE IS THE DEAD SHOOT:

Below is a working list of theoretical concepts at the heart of the postmodern. In the architecture of THE PROGRAMME, as it develops, these concepts link with bibliography, bibliographical notes, and a growing list of direct quotations from sources. They also link with references on the World Wide Web.

This working list covers only concepts on which we have done some reading, however limited that may be.

INTERTEXTUALITY
--Landow, Hypertext
--Moulthrop, Experiment in Hypertext Rhetoric
--Riddle, The Search for Some Hypertext Fiction
SELF
--Textual hologram
--Charles Bernstein
SIMULACRUM
--Baudrillard one
--Baudrillard two
STRUCTURE
--UP THE CHIMNEY
TERRITORY
--Talk Two: of territory
TEXT

--Talk Four: of generational perspective

We have identified the following concepts for review; when links are made, they will move above the dotted line:
