Capital, computers, writing, culture. Dangerous but interesting ground. Capital and marketing, computers as written about by cheerleaders like Doc, Dave Winer, Rageboy, culture as brand, and as libertarianism. Also, capital = culture creation (Holywood, computer games, tv, tv news) = marketing = writers, marketers, theorists facile with technology and rhetoric. If you want to start a war, suggest that pomo theory is the theory most appropriate to Mad Ave, and Holywood producers. That the grad schools turn 'em out and we hire them into the bs jobs of post-Fordist industries. Like this: the most important product of the postmodern economy is BS Writ Large. And who better to write it, or produce it, than the Grad Student trained in Theory? This is not a joke or provocation. You will find out, if you can't get a job in teaching, what alternatives are open to you. The most lucrative is marketer, producer, bs-artist whose virtual product is some aspect of post industrial brand culture. The Dissertation Committee wants trangressive? Stick that in their eye.
