i sat down yesterday to read my homework and found myself as the surrogate referee in a battle of epic proportions. two strains of cultural studies were pitted against one another: the culturalism (and its emphasis on the primacy of individual experience) espoused by Raymond Williams versus the pesky Franco-structuralism of Claude Lévi-Strauss (not to be confused with Bavarian jean maker, Levi Strauss). who won?
who won is beside the point.
the point is that i ended up sweaty and shirtless, scratching my head with a bag of sourdough pretzels. score one for the Bavarians...
