I'd say that if one puts Greenberg, Fried, Krauss and Foster into the same 'lineage,' it is also necessary to mention the serious disagreements between them - or at least, in this case, between Foster and the others. Also, I don't believe that Habermas, Frampton, Baudrillard, et al., can all be accurately described as being 'pro-resistance' and 'anti-reaction' on the topic of postmodernism, even with the qualifier 'disparate' -- that is just Foster's formulation. For instance, I would say Habermas would be simply pro-modern, anti-postmodern. Blima3000 12:21, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
