Got baby stuff on the brain thanks to DD! Sounds more like Philosophy..

It's about Barthes, post-structuralism and deconstruction/de-mythologising

I wonder if some Pirandello (sp?) might help Elfen...or is that a bit too sarcastic for Barthes - cant remember its been too long

elfen

Pirandello? whos that?

Ames

Becky, since you're here (and Linda if you see this later), thanks so much for when you helped me tidy. It's got in a bit of a state lately with one thing and another, but whereas I used to look around and think 'this can never be tidy what's the point in trying' I think 'it's amazing how much you can get done in a short time, it'll be no problem to get it back to normal'.

elfen

Becky, I looked him up and put him in, as I talk about that. Ta love.
Ames, that's a really positive view to take.

No worries Elfen - I had to study that play for my drama degree

Ames - sometimes its seeing where to start that matters and sometimes its having an end-point in mind. Glad we could help

elfen

becky, it looked about right too, and I HATE Barthes, so anything that's madcap and against him works

I thought Barthes and Pirandello played for Chelsea?

(I'll get my coat )

elfen

pepe, no it's all about semiotics (the study of signs and sign systems) I'm doing it in English and need to write this next one out so I can hand these two in next week .
