And, on that theme I present the paper, "The Stasis of Context: The cultural paradigm of narrative in the works of Gaiman" (or ways to scare all hells out of your English-degree-doing brother)

witchchild? She appears to be going thru a bit of stress in recent times (see this for example), and unlike a fair chunk of people on my friends list, she's one of the ppl I don't know offline, and ergo don't know as well. Am somewhat concerned. Would comment on the recent post, but she disabled it. Just asking as given the whole friends networks and small-world effects that happen in things like LJ, *someone* who reads this might know what's going on/be able to help. I'm actually starting to vaguely know a bit about some of the random ppl that have got added for one reason or another to my friends list, but there's still a lot I don't know about many of them. I tend to occasionally add random friends-of-friends, or ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
metaquotes posters/quoted people, and so I end up reading a fair variety of stuff on LJ. Share and share alike applied to our lives appeals to me. K, sleep before my last full day in Delft before the return to England. Tired....

Gaiman
Co-incidentally, a book demonstrating Gaiman's work in a Cambellian framework has just emerged in paperback.
Of the two I tend more toward a Cambellian as opposed to Random-generatorist paradigm, although they both exist within a referential framework dependant upon the existence of a uniform self in a post-modern world, and as such can be defeated by the introduction of a antebellum archetype of post Orwellian derivation.
The book about Cambell and Gaiman is true; demonstrating people will write anything.

(Not quite as polished as yours, but still an interesting note on todays (post-)+ modern society. *sigh*. Use of regexp (http://sitescooper.org/tao_regexps.html)'s in standard language. Not good. Possibly postmodern within programmer societal subgroups tho.)
