Two and a Half Aphorisms on Structuralism

1) Structuralism's presumed dependence upon the Center (expressed most insistently by structuralism's favorite critic, Derrida) is, in itself, that which its critics accuse it, structuralism, of being, that is, suffused with latent Platonism.

2) Structuralism is the necessary logical consequence of materialism; every other critical approach oozes voodoo from its seams.

2.1) A world without magic is horrifying, uninhabitable. I want to write criticism conjured to life with chicken blood.
