You are Julia Kristeva! You were a student of
Roland Barthes, and came up with such important
notions as intertextuality and abjection. You
are a semiotician, psychoanalyst, scholar of
literature, and dozens more things. You are not
dead.

For some stupid reason, I will not allow myself to post quiz results in my journal, but you have the best quizzes ever -- first 90210 secondary characters, and now 20th C. Theorists. (even if I did get D+G, which I am not terribly thrilled with)

You are Jacques Lacan! Arguably the most important
psychoanalyst since Freud, you never wrote
anything down, and the only works of yours are
transcriptions of your lectures. You are
notoriously difficult to understand, but at
least you didn't talk about the penis as much
as other psychoanalysts. You died in 1981.

Oh christ-- I'm dead. I may have known that, I may not have.

you think thats bad-on a whim, upon a second more experimental-peripheral preference attempt, i decided that 'prison guards' should definately hate me, and that anyone into at least some form of S&M would probably be foppish enough to get on well with me, and i got everybodies darling postmodernist 'Foucoult'. Panicked and hit 'reset'...but smile a bit inside as well.

this quiz was grand.

and for some reason the phrase "Very depressed Marxists" has had me in giggles for minutes on end.

Hmm. This is not what I would have expected.

You are Michel Foucault! You wrote groundbreaking
histories of prisons, hospitals, asylums, and
sex. Interestingly, you thought basically the
same thing about all of them. Your historical
accuracy is a bit dodgy, but that was never
really the point. You were very obsessed with
power roles - so obsessed that you frequented
gay S&M clubs, and died of AIDS in 1984.

You are Louis Althusser! You tried to bring
together structuralism, Marxism, and Lacanian
psychoanalysis. Your brilliant analysis of
ideology and the state is still widely
influential. You murdered your wife, were put
in a sanitarium, and lived the last decade of
your life alone before dying in 1990.


I had a sneaking suspicion....

Don't murder me!

I hope you're not too much like Althusser or I'm as good as dead. No more massages, thanks.
