Exposing "Exposing 'Northern Exposure'"

Beyond Postmodernism? - Exposing "Northern Exposure"

A critical and philosophical appraisal of the function of
Intertextuality and Metanarratives in Universal's 'Northern Exposure'

Postmodern analysis of popular culture is all very interesting, but I wonder why after 40 years of such analysis, it can still only be communicated in hyper-technical language. We are living in a post-modern culture, constantly surrounded by it, but expressing it seems impossible without learning a foreign language. Anyway, I guess I'll stop reading this and pick up Heidegger - which would be just as easy, and then pull out the Northern Exposure Dvds. If anyone wants to translate this article into something that is more accessible, let me know.
