		<description><![CDATA[Upon further reflection, Greenberg&#8217;s (partially) class-based analysis of Kitsch and its originary relationship to mechanical means of production may be a bit premature. While it is certainly evident that Kitsch is a product of mid/mass-cult, the causal relationship is more likely to be a replacement of all education with a sort of &#8220;surface&#8221; culture that [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ddthesis.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1871641&amp;post=247&amp;subd=ddthesis&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Kitsch removes the elements of both play and work from interaction with object, symbol and beauty. Play is destroyed as there is a serious coercive motive expressed by the kitsch-object. A very particular and restrained response is expected and coded for. This is particularly clear in totalitarian Kitsch &#8211; as opposed to the images of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ddthesis.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1871641&amp;post=218&amp;subd=ddthesis&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Two very different methods of theology &#8211; both are historical and engage critically with historical sources, but Gunton&#8217;s bears the marks of a modernist purity even as he rebuffs it. K&#8217;s history of theology is ever imperfect, and such imperfection doesn&#8217;t seem to be inherently problematic. The picture implicit in his charitability, even when he [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ddthesis.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1871641&amp;post=225&amp;subd=ddthesis&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
