Postmodern superheroes.
Yes... I had this one-line quip, playing on the idea of Baudrillard's comments about simulacra - a term you use, I know. It was awhole list of mildly funny ideas and propositions: 2005 repeated verbatim in 2008; (conflations like) Disney Gombrich ... blah blah etc.! One of these was the idea of the original Avengers back together, but 'more left wing'.
I love the idea of the simulacra. I like to take the old and rebuild and rework. I love the idea of bricolage too, which you also do. I have destroyed my blog twice now and I am liberated by it and depressed by it too as I don't save much of my stuff. But...you need to keep on your toes and that's why I do it. To recreate and reassemble and reinvigorate.
