The prepatriarchial paradigm of context and Debordist image

In the works of Pynchon, a predominant concept is the distinction between figure and ground. However, the premise of deconstructivist neocultural theory implies that reality is a product of the collective unconscious, given that art is distinct from consciousness. Many narratives concerning the common ground between class and society may be revealed.



In a sense, Lyotard promotes the use of the postcultural paradigm of narrative to deconstruct class divisions. The primary theme of the works of Pynchon is a mythopoetical totality.



Thus, the subject is contextualised into a constructive submaterialist theory that includes sexuality as a reality. Hamburger[1] suggests that we have to choose between the postcultural paradigm of narrative and the dialectic paradigm of narrative. However, if Debordist image holds, the works of Pynchon are not postmodern. A number of discourses concerning constructive submaterialist theory exist.

Check out the post modernism thesis generator. Basically it is a cgi script that randomly generates a postmodernism paper that is really funny to read. The really scary part of it is that some Universities have professors on their payroll who write stuff like this.

    Well . . . I just skimmed super fast and your blurb is completely wrong about Pynchon: mythopoetic totality is exactly the oposite of what his work is after . . .allthough it does sorta says that schizophrenic-paranoia results in desparate attempts at mythopoetic totality . . . .*ehem* . . . .





    and besides teh "Debordist image" is a condition that we all undergo . . .not a theorist that can 'hold' or etc . . . From Guy Debord's Society of the Spectacle . .



    but yes . . ha ha . . . post-structuralist prose: all too easy to make fun of, and too hard to actually try and undesrtand

    Hahaha...whew! When I first started reading the thread opener, I thought "ohmigosh...no way...ugh..." and my next impulse was to go "who turned pfflam loose? It's HIM...that's EXACTLY how he talks!!!"







    Glad to see that it is indeed a joke.



    BTW, that's no slam on pfflam...obviously a smart, enlightened fella.



    I just never know what the fück he's talking about. Ever.



    But I'd imagine he probably likes it that way.

    Lighten up, p. It's a joke. I'll decide when it's worth the "effort". \
