Participants may care to review (at their leisure) A Timely Utterance, which is available (along with other resources) on my website.

I will be happy to include on this site reference to any other relevant resources that participants suggest.

Here are some links to definitions provided by Robert Lau.

Here, as requested, is a start on some 'heroes' of (post)modernity—I realised very soon after (if not before) starting this list that I would be certain to be guilty of culpable omission and questionable inclusion, so I stopped; please recommend others.

Not necessarily who they are, but who/what they write about

Bannet, E. T. (1989). Structuralism and the Logic of Dissent. Basingstoke: MacMillan.

Sturrock, J. (1979). Structuralism and Since: from Lévi-Strauss to Derrida. Oxford: OUP.

Sturrock, J. (1986). Structuralism. London: Paladin Grafton.

 I think both who they are and who/what they write about (more than one text does not mean more important, but that I couldn't decide on an obvious (for me) single one and the two (or more) texts may be very or even significantly different).
