[New-Poetry] ideology

[Alexander Dickow]

I liked Bob's definition too, and would agree with
Jason about the "internal consistency" might simply be
amended to "relative internal consistency" or
something like that. I wasn't really arguing in favor
of one definition or the other, I rather like the fact
that words have multiple definitions. It's prettier ;)
At any rate, most of the usefulness the pejorative use
of the term once had has been relegated to more
precise and rigorous (IMHO) terms like "hegemony" or
"propaganda". 
I still think the pejorative definition of "ideology"
would have fit what that one feller was talking 'bout,
though. (Nyah ;)
Jason, you might find odd, intriguing, mysterious and
hilarious the fact that Larouche-minions seem to have
a persistent presence in Rennes, France (and I suspect
in other parts of France also). They used to hand out
pamphlets in Place Hoche, and I remember with
amusement the time they heckled a poor Americanist who
spoke at a Fulbright event held at the Institut
Franco-americain...
Oh, those Larouchians. Gotta love those Cheney
pictures with devil horns and red eyes, though,
dontcha? :D
Amicalement,
Alex
