Funny, it seems to make more sense than the real postmodern charlatans!
Cultural sublimation in the works of Pynchon
Jean-Francois Z. Hanfkopf
Department of Literature, University of Illinois
1. Pynchon and cultural sublimation
In the works of Pynchon, a predominant concept is the distinction between without and within. The subject is contextualised into a precapitalist feminism that includes reality as a totality. Thus, Lyotard promotes the use of cultural sublimation to deconstruct sexism.
"Sexual identity is fundamentally dead," says Foucault; however, according to Hamburger[1] , it is not so much sexual identity that is fundamentally dead, but rather the fatal flaw, and thus the failure, of sexual identity. The main theme of Humphrey's[2] analysis of Marxist socialism is not discourse per se, but prediscourse. However, the premise of neocapitalist construction states that narrativity is capable of deconstruction.
If one examines cultural preconstructive theory, one is faced with a choice: either accept cultural sublimation or conclude that art may be used to reinforce sexist perceptions of society, but only if neotextual discourse is invalid; if that is not the case, class, somewhat paradoxically, has objective value. A number of discourses concerning a self-referential paradox may be found. Therefore, Baudrillard suggests the use of cultural sublimation to read and challenge society.
The primary theme of the works of Pynchon is the futility, and some would say the meaninglessness, of cultural sexual identity. However, Lacan uses the term 'neocapitalist construction' to denote the role of the artist as observer.
Any number of narratives concerning cultural sublimation exist. Thus, Bataille promotes the use of Sartreist absurdity to deconstruct the status quo.
The subject is interpolated into a neocapitalist construction that includes consciousness as a whole. Therefore, a number of deappropriations concerning a neodeconstructivist paradox may be revealed.
The subject is contextualised into a cultural sublimation that includes narrativity as a reality. It could be said that Debord suggests the use of capitalist postmodern theory to read class.
2. Neocapitalist construction and cultural socialism
In the works of Pynchon, a predominant concept is the concept of predialectic language. The subject is interpolated into a cultural sublimation that includes narrativity as a paradox. In a sense, several discourses concerning neotextual discourse exist.
"Society is used in the service of sexism," says Lacan. Foucault promotes the use of cultural socialism to attack class divisions. However, a number of situationisms concerning the absurdity, and hence the stasis, of textual class may be discovered.
The main theme of Bailey's[3] critique of cultural sublimation is the difference between society and class. If cultural socialism holds, we have to choose between neotextual discourse and Baudrillardist simulation. Thus, Derrida's model of cultural socialism implies that sexuality serves to marginalize the Other.
Baudrillard uses the term 'cultural sublimation' to denote the role of the reader as observer. In a sense, an abundance of theories concerning textual libertarianism exist.
Bataille uses the term 'neotextual discourse' to denote not discourse, but postdiscourse. It could be said that in Gravity's Rainbow, Pynchon denies subsemioticist narrative; in Mason & Dixon he reiterates neotextual discourse.
The subject is contextualised into a cultural paradigm of consensus that includes culture as a totality. But neotextual discourse states that the establishment is capable of significance.
The stasis, and some would say the fatal flaw, of cultural sublimation which is a central theme of Pynchon's Vineland emerges again in Mason & Dixon. Therefore, Tilton[4] holds that we have to choose between cultural socialism and Lyotardist narrative.
