It didn't quite turn out the way I had hoped.<br /><br />Still, I love that bloggers are discussing this because analysis is a difficult thing. I am in a teacher training program right now and when I work with students regarding analysis, they are constantly baffled. I'm hoping that through the series of posts you are preparing, I will get some ideas of things I can discuss with them -- and I promise to try to make some contributions to the discussion, which I'm sure will be rich with insights.Jenniferhttp://www.justicejennifer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826660492524293078.post-38875183220849046512011-11-17T08:14:49.261-08:002011-11-17T08:14:49.261-08:00Interesting.

Specifically I'm thinking of Eco, who is really into postmodernism, the fragility of text and symbol, and reader response theory, all of which come out as major players in his books. Or Rushdie with his simultaneous narrative and exploring the construction/destruction of historical truth in the historic consciousness and in text itself.Andrew Shaughnessyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12260655432343024606noreply@blogger.com
