Normally I save the silly quizzes for Camp Moment but I decided this one was just up LP’s alley: what kind of postmodernist are you?
See what kind of postmodernist I am under the fold…
You are a Theory Slut. The true elite of the
postmodernists, you collect avant-garde
Indonesian hiphop compilations and eat journal
articles for breakfast. You positively live
for theory. It really doesn’t matter what
kind, as long as the words are big and the
paragraph breaks few and far between.
What kind of postmodernist are you!?

Hmmn. Maybe not…
Via Feministe.
I am Not Postmodern. Cool.
Whether you harbor some vestige of modernist morality or simply fail to see the irony in Reality TV, one thing is clear. You are just Not Postmodern.
Dang, I got theory slut too. Embarrassamente.
You are a Tortured Conceptual Artist. Your fellowpostmodernists call you an anachronism, butyou’ve never cared much about the opinions ofothers. After all, most of them are far toosimple-minded to appreciate the nuances of yourwork. They talk, while you are part of a livedtradition.

I ticked the boxes (Law & Order, Johnny Depp etc) and it said: “this page cannot be displayed.”
My postmodernism is so immense it like totally deconstructed their neocapitalist paradigm into a self-falsifyingly rhizomatic ecriture feminine.
Mark: nice Lyotards.
I got Tortured Conceptual Artist too, like Mark. How can this be? What could I have in common with a lefty sociologist?
Gender Nazi?!
Maybe we could swap, Shaun?
I don’t know Kate. I usually don’t wear lingerie.
Careful there T-Rex…. the closest actual Spanish word to yours is embarrasada, which means “pregnant”.
Not a good look for a theory slut.
I got gender Nazi. Again!
LE I was ‘ironically’ quoting, like, TV so it doesn’t matter if it’s not, like, a ‘real’ language, like. Dude.
Still at least I’m not a … Gender Nazi! WTF? Where’s E.P. when you need him?
Gender Nazi.
Damn, how do they do it?

Wooh! I am so loving myself today.
You are a Grassroots Activist. Anti-capitalist,anti-patrist, anti-authoritarian, whatever,you’re just fuckin’ anti. You probably tellpeople you hate postmodernism, but thatassertion elides the complex interdependenciesamong academic poststructuralism andstreet-level activism. You don’t batheregularly, and know at least one person who hasscabbies.

Ewwww … stay away from Robert.
You are a Deconstructionist Weirdo. Althoughostensibly originating with Derrida, thetheories of your particular school have longsince passed beyond intellegibillity; half thetime you don’t even understand what you’resaying anymore. That’s okay, though. You’re alot more fun to party with than a bunch ofstodgy new historicists.

There’s a distinct resemblance in the photo, Kim!
I didn’t realise we could put pictures. How dully Not Pomo of me. Here’s mine.

Amanda, email me the code and I’ll fix it – Kim’s didn’t come out correctly either. I don’t think it’s IE friendly!

And a very fine likeness too, I say. The one on the right I mean.
Nice threads, Amanda.
Shaun and Evil, I hear ya – I too am a gender nazi. The fact that none of us has put up the very plain picture that accompanies our diagnosis is a reflection on all of us.
Evil, I enjoy your willingness to participate in blog games such as this one – but I am far more interested to hear how you describe enacting your buddhist practices.
Hmmm, I gotta meet more deconstructionist weirdos. YOWZA!
Lefty E, I’m sure if you flirt with her nicely, Kimberella the Pirate Queen will send you some nice inbox surprises!
Dear me….(*blushes worker’s flag deepest red*)
Well, I would, but weathergirl might dob on me. The perils of online in-laws.
Erm, however Mark, you could of course pass my email onto the lovely Kim for any, erm, relevant material of a strict research orientation (eg my upcoming deconstructionist weirdos pictorial essay for Quadrant)…
Will do, Lefty E. Kim is always happy to cooperate with research projects, I believe, and especially for Quadrant publication.
Indeed I am, Mark! Just as soon as I get back to Brisbane and have access to the relevant files, Lefty E, I shall provide my full cooperation.
Excellent Kim… and in view of this transnational moment, I shall include this in my annual report to DEST as an international linkage project, no less.
Imagine how tricky this gig would have been pre-FTA. Thanks Vailey!
Lefty E, it’s a pleasure. Initial material I happened to have to hand from which you might formulate a tentative hypothesis is in the ether in your direction.
Zoe, my Buddhist practices are extremely lazy and almost entirely theoretical in nature. I still haven’t managed to reconcile Buddhist pacifism with social survival.
Dios Mio! Preliminary findings confirm general uber-hotness of deconstructionist weirdos. Researcher quite flustered!
Thanks Kim!
I didn’t know that I was so extreme!

A pleasure to be of service, Lefty E! Remember me from your first year tutes?
No, cant say I do – and Im sure I would!
I wasn’t the most assiduous attendee!
