our generation has no Chomsky, no Jameson, no Derrida, no Adorno, no Cixous, no Foucault, no Woolf, no Nietzsche, no Deleuze.

I tend to think that our generation does in fact have such thinkers, only they’ve been hampered by structures designed to celebrate such already “brand name” established figures. Also, this generation’s thinkers are less likely to go through an academic publishing route, given the opportunities for self-publishing today.
