"A Literary Darwinistic Approach to Marxist-Feminist Criticism" is a bit of a stretch, but I can't wait to see what Donna Haraway (one of the premier feminist critics of scientism) will have to say about this! If anything what we're look at is just the vigor of the academy exercising itself again. Some of those titles almost sound convincing Kyle.

Yes, you have found for yourself the universal and elegant truth that ‘believing a lefty’ and ‘being wrong and stupid’ are synonyms.

If you believe something a lefty says, aren't you both wrong and stupid (by your definition of lefty) at the same time? Uhh…wait, what?

It's just the latest trend. One thing that English faculties need to do in order to continue is to come up with new, fresh, literary theories. It provides a new way to write about literature and a whole new topic to write about. Just think of all the journal essays that will be devoted to comparing Literary Criticism to all the other schools of literary criticism. "Literary Darwinism as the New Formalism" "A Deconstruction of Literary Darwinism" "Literary Darwinism and Narratology: A Comparison" "A Literary Darwinistic Approach to Marxist-Feminist Criticism" I agree with Luke. It’s just the latest trend.

His critique here is founded in an extremely long and rich course of study. Well said, Llama. Poor Ernesto has more footnotes to rewrite.

They are all now based on weak minded, frail and failed ideologies foisted on our children by evil whack jobs that had too much time on their hands, did too many drugs, slept with too many partners and had too few brain cells. The humanities list is not language, communications or arts. They are a failed list of Communalism, Me, Me, Me Temple Builders, Feeling Good Self Asceticism, Victimiztionalism, Slave Mastery, Socialism, Marxism, Indolence of Do Nothingness, Scapegoats R'Us and Communism. They are collectively called 'Irrational Thought Based on Stupid Assumptions Leading to Erroneous Conclusions based on Insanity.' The name of a fine humanities course that should be taught as a required class but will never be. There is nothing human in or about modern humanities.
