American Colonialism

[Conrad Anexoukai Apexou]

Foucault and another Frenchman, Jacques Derrida, are the
great idols of Rococo Marxism in America. Could it be
otherwise? Today, a throughout the twentieth century, our
intellectuals remain sweaty little colonials, desperately
trotting along, trying to catch up with the way the idols do
it in France, which is through Theory, Theory, Theory. In
this pursuit, some colonials inevitably run faster than
others, and leading the pack currently are two academics,
Stanley Fish and Judith Butler.
