If nothing else, the list of stuff Carcaroth provided
that you wrote
off is a pretty good list of fundamental debates in the question of
how to read sources and what they mean - debates that have
ramifications in all fields. To declare them irrelevant to our process
is... problematic.
I didn't write off the subjects, I just wrote off reading about them
when they are written using a bunch of made up words. If someone would
like to summarise the debate in English, I'd be very interested to
read it. There are appropriate uses of jargon, but the way lit crit
uses it is just designed to make the author look clever. When it
becomes impossible to tell the difference between the real thing and
satire, you know something has gone horribly wrong.
