The Collapse Of Sexual Identity
TAG: essay philosophy postmodernismThe Collapse of Sexual Identity: Marxist capitalism and the cultural paradigm of context
1. Gaiman and Marxist capitalism
If one examines Lyotardist narrative, one is faced with a choice: either reject neotextual nihilism or conclude that consciousness may be used to oppress the underprivileged. But Foucault uses the term 'the cultural paradigm of context' to denote the bridge between society and sexual identity. The subject is interpolated into a Lyotardist narrative that includes art as a totality.
Therefore, Sontag promotes the use of the cultural paradigm of context to attack outmoded, elitist perceptions of class. Baudrillard uses the term 'cultural theory' to denote not sublimation per se, but postsublimation.
However, a number of theories concerning Lyotardist narrative may be revealed. Pickett[1] implies that the works of Gaiman are an example of mythopoetical nationalism. It could be said that Bataille suggests the use of Marxist capitalism to analyse society. The main theme of de Selby's[2] model of Lyotardist narrative is a self-sufficient reality.
2. Realities of collapse
"Sexual identity is part of the economy of culture," says Sartre. However, the subject is contextualised into a semioticist paradigm of discourse that includes art as a totality. Sontag uses the term 'Lyotardist narrative' to denote the role of the reader as artist.
If one examines the cultural paradigm of context, one is faced with a choice: either accept postdialectic discourse or conclude that sexuality, perhaps paradoxically, has significance. Therefore, if Marxist capitalism holds, we have to choose between the cultural paradigm of consensus and predialectic Marxism. In JFK, Stone denies the cultural paradigm of context; in Platoon he affirms Lyotardist narrative.
But Foucault promotes the use of the cultural paradigm of context to challenge hierarchy. The meaninglessness, and subsequent economy, of Lyotardist narrative which is a central theme of Stone's Heaven and Earth emerges again in Natural Born Killers, although in a more cultural sense.
However, the premise of Marxist class states that art is capable of intentionality, but only if Bataille's analysis of Lyotardist narrative is invalid; otherwise, we can assume that reality is a product of the collective unconscious. Hubbard[3] implies that the works of Stone are modernistic.
It could be said that if Marxist socialism holds, we have to choose between the cultural paradigm of context and postdialectic textual theory. Sontag suggests the use of Lyotardist narrative to modify and deconstruct society.

The text you have just read is completely meaningless and was randomly generated by the Postmodernism Generator:
"... Just a few years old, the Postmodermism Generator is already a classic of software-based text manipulation. Using the Dada Engine, a system for generating random text from grammars, it generates disturbingly plausible yet meaningless postmodern-speak as academic texts."In couple of mouse clicks and in a few hours you are able to get a Phd degree in postmodernism!
Just visit Elsewhere.org and write brilliant(ly meaningless!) essays!

I didn't go to the site because I kept laughing. Especially an engine called Dada is great
I know :-). But the site is also very funny. After trying a few times it all looks same but anyway.. But there are other stuff 'which makes fun' with post modernism (like The Sokal Hoax and essay written by Stephen Katz -How to speak and write postmodern). Especially that piece by Stephen Katz is marvellous. You can find it on the net as well.
