Question for 2010 Lublin conferees (or anyone who can help)

[Matthew Cissell]

Hello All,
    
    I have a question about some language that came up during the conference last year in Lublin. It's more about a phrase that came up.
    I recall that on a few occasions conferees spoke of Pynchon as 'bringing something to our attention' or 'directing our attention' or using oblique references to arouse the reader's curiousity about something. At one point I heard the term "pedagogical Pynchon" used. Does anybody recall any of that? I don't believe I've come across it anywhere in the literature. That's to say that it doesn't seem to be an existing term in the discourse around studies involving Pynchon. (I leave it to others to discuss its utility or lack of.) I plan to refer to the event and the phrase in something I'm working on, but I wouldn't want to use a term without giving proper credit where needed.
    
Thanks
ciao
