That paper "Imprisoned Narrative" must be an incredibly boring read. Why do people write academic papers in such a stilted, purposefully opaque style? And when they do, why do journals publish them?
They write that way so they can keep their jobs, which are controlled by people even more useless and intellectually constipated than themselves.
In other news: they got to earth but it was already nuked. We still don't know who the last one is. That is all.

"Oil Be Back" is fucking funny. Good one!
YOU SON OF A BITCH! Welcome to my hell. I'm a socio-cultural anthropology major at UW and my academic life consists of reading shit like that. It's truly hideous. Postmodernism and Foucault has taken over the social sciences and this is what we are left with.
If you want to create your own Postmodern essay, here's a free generator:
@3: and it gave me faith in RDM and Co. again. That episode was totes l33t.
If you're going to post shit like that discursive crap, warn me. My finals were over and I want to pretend language like that is not a key part of getting an English major for at least three months. The saddest part for me was when I almost understood it without trying.
And is that the Lacanian "I"?
May I offer this edit, for clarity and style:
What happens when an autobiography becomes undermined by the dominant discursive reasoning? What happens when an author’s memory is encouraged to imprint itself upon the page, but is limited to the language and idiom of a culture that has never truly represented her, as her culture is a subordinate Other? She must supplicate herself if her story is to survive. Deformed, her story will now betray her, disclosing the intense cultural self-deceit, political fear, and a masked and self-divided identity of someone constrained by a dominant and culturally limited logic. The autobiographical “I” is made alien to itself, confined and encoded in a discursive world outside of her own making or control.
