Hi Arlo, Hope you are doing well. I've been fine.
Just wanted to comment on the article you post and say... pblllt. I mean really. " In this article, I reexamine quality and rhetoric in Robert M. Pirsig’s *Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance* through Julia Kristeva’s semiotic *chora*. To that end, I review three analyses of Pirsig’s novel, reinscribe quality as a prediscursive experience of undifferentiated wholeness, argue that regression back into Kristeva’s *chora* is one way to recover this prediscursive experience, and hypothesize that the rhetoric of *Zen* is an unstable discourse in which prediscursive energies from the *chora* disrupt and realign the meanings of signifiers. I conclude by generalizing my work beyond Pirsig’s novel to three concepts in rhetorical scholarship. " Reinscribe quality as a prediscursive experience of blah blah blah insert more big words here, to describe rhetorical scholarship in three (count 'em - THREE!) concepts?? Really??? I can't say exactly what Bob intended with his life, but THIS don't seem right. It don't seem right at all. jc On Tue, Feb 20, 2018 at 12:19 PM, ARLO JAMES BENSINGER JR <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi All, > > Not sure if this has already been mentioned here.
