- crux_ 15y agoI think even a university professor is smart enough to recognize that journal articles are a poor way of creating culture. ;) The ivory tower has always been more interested in understanding than creation, postmodern or not. (And an edit to add: there is definitely influence from the ideas generated academia, however. For a really obvious example, Neo is reading Simulacra and Simulation in The Matrix.)

It's a prop. If you're going to argue influence, shouldn't you be pointing out how the contents of that book were somehow reflected in the movie?
- turbojerry 15y agoActually Neo is not reading it, it is a hollowed out book containing his collection of warez, whether that is a nod to postmodernism or a joke at its expense implying it is a hollow discipline I do not know, perhaps someone could ask the Wachowskis.
