"It was fun, it just wasn't that rigorous in the end. What I enjoy about the post-structuralists is that their writing is supposed to display implicitly how our language influences what we think, what conclusions or connections we can draw. To this end, the two authors have adopted a very unique, idiosyncratic framework which they then apply to psychology, society, human beings, etc., arriving at fresh outlooks on a variety of topics. Again, it was enjoyable precisely because of the sense of play they bring to their topics. I particularly liked the essays on Freud's wolf-man, and the Face.
It is difficult to give a concise account of their method ("schizoanalysis" they call it), but it seems to emphasize inter-relationships and organizations, actions, groupings, and functions rather than taxonomies, hierarchies, reductionism, etc. I believe that the basic spirit here is valuable: one of looking at emergent behavior, crowd behavior rather than trying to break everything down to the indivisible monad. Whether they are coherent in expressing this, or meaningful in their conclusions is a different matter. It takes some time to get a handle on their terminology, which may make more sense with original French connotations.
Regardless of whatever merit you may or may not see in the arguments themselves, I thought this writing was interesting because it is unlike anything I've read before, and it provides a very different point of view. That alone is worth the price of admission, in my book."
