Speaking of foxes ...

[ish mailian]

The Hunt. One critical focus (McHale & Co.)  is on the modernist
reader, who doggedly chases the postmodernist Fox and all that
implies.


The  Hunt for Christ.

Cowart does a fine job on the Hunt for Christ in M&D.

The hunt begins in V..

Marcel Cornis-Pope doesn't focus on the Hunt, but his chapter in
_Narrative Innovation and Cultural Rewwriting in the Cold War Era and
After_,
 "  'Chains Of Links'  OR  'Disorderly Tangle of Lines' "

 knits V. to GR.

The current discussion might benefit from the idea of Corporate
Science and the Rocket State and so on, but also from  the view of
history, down the toilet, in the sewer, on the street and surface and
Sidney Stencil's father/son history vs. Mother Nature....so on. How
this end of history talk of Pavlov is connected with Sidney talk of
conditioning behavior and history.
