No, but thanks anyway. I'm afraid it's all a bit over my head. That is,
the philosophical/ postmodern/ world is a text idea.  The other stuff,
like the world as text in fiction is all very obvious so no need to keep
providing examples. 

My position on the idea of the world as text has not changed. 

I wrote, 
The world is pre-textual and post-textual, even in these postmodern
times.
