Intertextuality of interview and research
It's Monday morning.
On Friday's Life Matters, the promo for today's program said that there would be a discussion about Tourette Syndrome. This morning the journalist was interviewing the author of a book on the subject, a British gentleman who has the syndrome himself.
A couple of minutes into the interview, the journalist asked (and I paraphrase from memory): "So, Tourette Syndrome ... I'm not sure I understand ... is that the condition where people feel compelled to swear?"
Postmodern journalism: practise the intertextuality of interview and research. The order in which they occur is a construct of society and thus immaterial, so forget about it.
