wow that looks really awesome, thank you so much.  it sounds like what i'm looking for!

 

my local library is really bad, but maybe i can use the university library (assuming they're any better). 

 

And I know this is very old news, but just in case, Baudrillard has an essay about animals in Simulacra & Simulation - among other things it touches on sentimentality, and the silence of animals. Also Deleuze & Guattari discuss animals at various points in A Thousand Plateaus.  I really should know more. I'll try to think of something more current.

 

yeah, steve baker discusses Baudrillard and Deleuze & Guattari in The Postmodern Animal.  they sound like exactly what i don't want to read--- ie, they are mired in the same old prejudices and opinions that I want to get away from-- but thank you for mentioning them!

 

 

Did you guys see Paola Antonelli (MoMA) on Colbert this week??  This is what she said of "what" we are right now:

 

"We are post-post-postmodern, present, pre-future, but a little bit of future today, with the history that comes with us."

 

Hah!

 

And continued with:

 

"Be yourself. Be in the moment. You're going to be modern."

 

Hah again!

HAHA  That's good stuff.   

Where I think we are at, is that we are just really beyond labeling everything.  That's why i don't get wrapped up in these things.  But that's hilarious, I love Colbert too... gonna have to watch that one.

Not a reading, but there is a post-postmodern movement called the New Sincerity.

yes, i've heard about that, and also neo-sentimentalism (seems mostly to apply to literature, though, at this point).
