Before Elvis . . . there was nothing John Lennon CultureTexts Arthur and Marilouise Kroker General Editors CultureTexts is a series of creative explorations in theory, po- litics and culture at the fin-de-millenium. Thematically focussed around key theoretical debates in the postmodern condition, the CultureTexts series challenges received dis- courses in art, social and political theory, feminism, psychoanal- ysis, value inquiry, science and technology, the body, and critical aesthetics. Taken individually, contributions to CUZ- tureTexts represent the forward breaking-edge of postmodern theory and practice.
