I suppose it must be disheartening to be sincere and thoughtful. When method and principle you possess, how to propagate pedagogy to the masses? So is the state of post-modernity, when technological advances enable mass production in quick fixes of popular culture. What happened to the good old days of tradition and good value education? Knowledge, like trees and like children, requires patient time for cultivation and nourishment.
Shall we lament the future further?
That is my work--to disparage culture and literature. But we do it with the sole purpose of improving it, to responsibly play our role in its ethics, perhaps to leave a mark in the betterment of the tapestry. What strategies to enact, when to ridicule to the point of indignity results in hysteria? I answer with the twin strategies of alteration and recombination (aka rewriting and intertextuality), a slow process requiring compromise and negotiation between the one and the other. Things are not so bad.
