[Dave Monroe]

... would love to throw my two cents worth in here as
well, but am furiously trying to get my forthcoming
hosting stint up and running   In the meantime, some
recommended reading ...

Eagleton, Terry.  The Ideology of the Aesthetic.
   Cambridge, MA: Basil Blackwell, 1990.

Ermarth, Elizabeth Deeds.  A Sequel to History:
   Postmodernism and the Crisis of Representational
   Time.  Princeton, NJ: Princeton UP, 1991.

Hutcheon, Linda.  A Poetics of Postmodernism:
   History, Theory, Fiction.  New York:
   Routledge, 1988.

Niethammer, Lutz.  Posthistoire: Has History Come
   to an End?  Trans. Patrick Camiller.  New York:
   Verso, 1992.

... and thanks to those who responded to my plea, I
believe I've located a possible source, but anybody
who wants to send the article along "just in case,"
your consideraton will go neither unappreciated nor, I
hope, unrewarded ...
