How many poststructuralists does it take to screw...
By rejecting neo-Enlightment notions that privilege “light”, we can conceptualize the relationship between optically-oriented envisioning and those signifiers that address interpretations of post-colonial modernism as an established text within the framework of which, intertextually, we are lead to reject any causal relationship between the operands and the motivators.
