how I see it: theory is just the compilation of a set of norms & tactics &
mores into a neat pile. the tactics are all there to begin with, it becomes
'Theory' once it is put on the grid in some way that tries (sometimes
desperately) to make some unified sense of all those things in relation to
writing or art or whatever.
so yeah absolutely it's possible. it isn't a giant leap from that to theory
though, because it's all ready to be made ooh-aah fabulous sense of in the
mind. or sometimes just good sense. but who needs sense when you have Rick
shooting off his mouth so perfectly?
oh and to fuck without theory may not be impossible, but ill-advised..!
