Hello, musicians, Dale cannot object to this...

[Cork]

There is another place for your musical experience.

Please, introduce your musical self.

Use it, or loose it!

[benhall.1]

Er ... why? Can't we say everything we need to here? What point am I missing?

As you by now know, Chiff and Fipple has an Irish Traditional Music orientation.

However, apparently Chiff and Fipple 2.0 is open to ALL musicians.

However did you get that idea?
The main forums are instrument orientated, like whistle forum, classic traditional/Irish type flute forum, UP forum, etc., and not by what kind of music you play. That many of not most contributors play or learn to play Irish trad music is only a side effect in what genre the instruments are most used. And there is lots of other kind of music discussed freely, without anyone getting shot. oh, and there is an Irish Traditional Music forum too on C&F, for hardcore traddies.

And C&F is not restricted to musicians only.

Another venue where one can waste time and avoid playing and practicing.
Though whether the latter is a productive use of one's time is certainly moot.

If "ALL musicians", then why "Chiff" and "Fipple" and "2.0"?

The content seems poststructural.

[Julia Delaney]

Sorry... but could you define "poststructural?"

Thanks.

[Mick Down Under]

I was going to define it for you but it isn't in my, albeit, older version Oxford dictionary. So it may not be English. Those of you who speak american may have a relevant Webster dictionary that may help Julia with her enquiry, as it my be in that language rather than english.

ah don't let Julia fool ya....t'was a trick question, it was.

Julia or one to many of her alter egos have been around long before there was a poststructural....

[m31]

Sorry... but could you define "poststructural?"

Thanks.

Actually, I think I unwittingly found the real reason for C&F2.0. It was in the Poststructural Pub all along.

[Denny]

not that it was lost.....but yeah, that was it

I gather that I am not the only one who does not know what "post-structural" means. I read the dictionary definition but I still don't understand it.
Nothing at all "trick" about my question.
I mean, I got this from Wiki: "In direct contrast to the structuralist claim of an independent signifier superior to the signified, post-structuralism generally views the signifier and signified as inseparable but not united; meaning itself inheres to the play of difference."
I like this much better: "Therefore, to properly study a text a reader must understand how the work is related to his or her own personal concept of self. This self-perception plays a critical role in one's interpretation of meaning." But does that approach merit a label as a unique approach to knowledge? Surely, solipsism is nothing new.
Wiki does intimate that "Many so-called 'post-structuralist' theorists actively refused the label." I assume because they don't understand what "post-structural" means either.

If Julia wanted to understand the thing
she shouldn't have asked for a defintion ......
