Johnny Rotten,
Thanks for your interest. The fact is, I can't stop elaborating on this stuff. After a lot of attempts here in the forums, I decided to start sketching out the background from a personal view in the journal.
So, in time, my own views get elaborated, trust me...
Additional resources are valuable references.
I'll list a bibliography as soon as I scan my bookshelf for the exact titles that are relevant and will post back here. I can post the most recent I've read now and then go back and try to flesh out how the idea developed in post-modern analyses.
