A Jungian, a structuralist, a feminist, a post-structuralist, a Bakhtinian, and a reception theorist walk into a bar. The bartender is Wakdjunkaga.
"What'll it be?" asks Trickster.
"A shadow figure?" asks the Jungian.
"A culture hero?" asks the structuralist.
"A challenger of orthodoxy and agent of cultural transformation?" asks the feminist.
"A metaplayer, dissolving order in the depth of open-ended play?" asks the post-structuralist.
"A situation-inverter, mocking but not changing the order of things?" asks the Bakhtinian.
"I'm not sure," says the reception theorist. "What do you think?"
