I don't necessarily disagree, but could you elaborate a bit, please?

I give you the answer that I wrote to Doug in a private PM yesterday:

"episteme" >(Foucault).
Should literature offer an alternative? I don't think so. Perhaps Pynchon
offers us a "schizophrenic speach" and "onomatopoetica" as an alternative,
like Deleuze/Guattari in "Anti-Oedipus" on a theoretical level. But is this
an alternative??????
