“As soon as we cease to believe in such an engineer and in a discourse which breaks with the received historical discourse, and as soon as we admit that every finite discourse is bound by a certain bricolage and that the engineer and the scientist are also species of bricoleurs , then the very idea of bricolage is menaced and the difference in which it took on its meaning breaks down.” BelieveIdeasCertainDifferencesBreakScientistHistoricalSpeciesBoundsCeaseEngineersDiscourseBreaking DownFinite Book:Writing and Difference Source: Writing and Difference
“Christian scholars often say that Sufi theories are close to those of Christianity. Many Moslems maintain that they are essentially derived from Islam. The resemblance of many Sufi ideas to those of several religious and esoteric systems are sometimes taken as evidence of derivation. The Islamic interpretation is that religion is of one origin, differences being due to local or historical causes.” IdeasSometimesChristianCausesDifferencesReligiousChristianityTakenTheoryEvidenceHistoricalIslamDuesLocalsIslamicInterpretationScholarSufiResemblanceEsoteric Book:The Elephant in the Dark Source: The Elephant in the Dark
“To me, there's a huge difference between criticism and reviewing. I really love reading good criticism of television and film. To me, a critic is someone who analyzes a show, describes it, talks about the people in it, puts it in historical context of other shows like it, compares it and stuff, and then talks about the intent of the show and whether it failed or didn't.” PeopleShowsFilmReadingStuffDifferencesTelevisionHugeCriticismHistoricalCriticsCompareLove Of ReadingHistorical Context Author:Louis C.
