Will the real slim shady please stand up?


Palaver posted on a previous post:

Megumi,
You blog entries bring Burroughs and the posttextual paradigm of discourse to mind. I thought of this because your entries reflect the work of Semioticist rationalism and cultural discourse. As you know, the main theme of Tilton’s essay on semioticist rationalism is a mythopoetical totality. It could be said that the premise of subtextual dedeconstructivism states that culture is capable of significance. Baudrillard suggests the use of Sartreist absurdity to deconstruct capitalism. Therefore, the subject is interpolated into a cultural paradigm of narrative that includes sexuality as a paradox. Debord uses the term ‘cultural discourse’ to denote the bridge between class and sexual identity. However, many discourses concerning semioticist rationalism may be found. The characteristic theme of the works of Burroughs is the absurdity, and some would say the defining characteristic, of neomaterialist society. In a sense, Porter holds that we have to choose between cultural discourse and constructive libertarianism. Your choice is obvious!

    Uh...Meg, what exactly is your obvious choice? Mr. Anonymous apparently not only has some unresolved childhood issues but current unresolved issues too.

    "Semioticist rationalism?" Come on! Not even the great authority - Wikipedia - has an entry about it. Mr. Anonymous take a chill pill.
