...not a flame here, but I wouldn't say pomo is undefinebale or
uncategorical.
I've read enough Jameson, Baudrillard, etc. and sat in a sufficient
number Critical Theory seminars to see well arcticulated definitions and
categories which share
the same blanket - even to the point of differentiating it from
poststructuralism (which is deeper and more interesting, imo).
You'll find tweaks, nuances and different disciplines spinning it to fit
their niches, but that isn't to say it is undefined by any means.
And I'll agree with Mr. Lockett on his contribution to the thread re: IDM.
