[Michel Bauwens]

Andy,

I'm hoping this may inspire you to some publishable commentary,

This essay examines the relationships between tropic strategies

used in the construction of the self in the human sciences, in the

humanities, and in culture and the political and social context

within which the specific strategies arise and are maintained.

Three specific tropic strategies are identified – reductionist,

structuralist, humanist/anti-humanist. These are shown to rely

upon three of the master tropes identified by Kenneth Burke.
