This post was strongly influenced by recent conversations on the role of academic theory in meta posts, but I don't know if it was a reaction against that conversation (I'll talk about theory if I want to!) or a capitulation to it (insofar I made all my steps more explicit than I usually would, with links to theorists' Wiki articles, although of course that foregrounds the theoretical content in a way which otherwise wouldn't be the case).
I really love philosophy (particularly philosophy since Kant; I really couldn't be bothered with the older stuff, for the most part), and analytic philosophy isn't a voice that's heard very much in lit crit (and thus in fannish meta conversation dominated by lit crit perspectives) which tends to draw more on Continental sources.
