What does Poststructural mean?

Anyone know?

It’s denotes a deconstructivist perspective of postmodernist nihilistic analyses of constructivism and the postsemantic paradigm of consensus.

Of course.

This is about as clear an explanation as can be offered.

From the Chiff & Fipple FAQ:

Q: How about “PostStructural”? You call it “Chiff & Fipple: The PostStructural Tinwhistle Internet Experience”

A: Right.

Q: What does that mean?

A: What does what mean?

Q: “PostStructural”.

A: Well, uh, you know what they say: If you have to ask, you don’t know. Hehehe.

Q: WHAT?

A: Well…“poststructural,” of course, means, uh, “after ‘structural’.” Or after the structure. Let’s move on.

Q: You don’t know do you?

A: No. I just thought it sounded kinda funny and pretentious. That’s what I’m about mostly.

I knew it.

That sentence means the same thing when read backwards - try it!

“It knew I”? In Welsh, maybe… :wink:

.sentence that Not

I was just about to reply and say that was such a Nano reply :laughing:

I like the Little Alex avatar, 'Notes. Very horrorshow.
:wink:

And you did, in a deeply poststructural way. You can’t fool me.

darn it all. And here I thought I was being so sly and tricky (or tricksy, as GaryKelly would say)

At first I thought it was just a clever way of getting stst together in one word. Then I thought it was a clever way of forming a word that is only properly pronounceable if said slowly by an extremely sober and articulate person. Before that I thought it was something to do with the way stand-alone pillar-boxes are designed. :confused:

Real poststructuralists deny “meaning” itself. All “meaning” is transitory, provisional, and arbitrary.

POst structuralism is what happens when dadaists take over the academy and utter straight-faced nonsense.

maybe if you get it translated into mandarin and then welsh and then back to english and then american it will mean . . . something.

And here I thought it referred to tweaking whistles (poststructural = after the
whistle is originally built)… Kinda like using “after-market” parts on your car.

I kind of miss the term I had to retire in 2000, “The PreMillennial Tinwhistle Experience.”

Ah, you’ve tried that as well! :laughing:

Poststructural refers to the fact that the Board lends structure to a list of posts.

Ah… a new catagory for eBay whistle sales… “after-market” - for the whole gammut from ‘souped-up’ to tweeked’ to ‘botched royally’! Oh goody!
