1. Quick intro to Postmodernism and its connection to The Things They Carried

where Whiteside gets very excited about being back in his classroom and talks really fast, and for little too long, situating Postmodernism. He then goes on to discuss (quickly) issues of identity in Postmodernism and to connect those to TTTC. From there he discusses TTTC as an example of a Postmodern text. A side note: the video is a little long though there is a break in it at about the 20:40 mark. Sorry about that.
