In Defense of Postmodernism.

A rant from back during finals, when I didn't have time to rant....

Dear Professor (you big naysayer),

You sit there in your precious professor seat and tell me that you think postmodernism is useless. It needlessly complicates issues. Postmodernists use intentionally complicated language. Postmodernists haven’t said anything new, instead they just take old ideas (that were said better then) and dress them up in words no one understands. Oh, and you complain about postmodernists injecting their own narratives into anthropological texts. You say you don’t need to have a chapter about what happened in their childhood, that you don’t care about what made them the people they are today, because if their research is good it’ll stand on it’s own.

( And I say that you’re wrong.  )
