Someone found the automated opus generator on the internet.

Realities of Fatal flaw: Textual objectivism in the works of Eco

Helmut N. Parry
Department of Politics, Oxford University

1. Contexts of defining characteristic

In the works of Fellini, a predominant concept is the distinction between ground and figure. In a sense, Bataille uses the term 'textual objectivism' to denote the rubicon, and subsequent meaninglessness, of postcapitalist culture.

The subject is interpolated into a structuralist desemanticism that includes consciousness as a paradox. But Lyotard's critique of subcultural theory states that academe is intrinsically meaningless.

Marx promotes the use of structuralist desemanticism to deconstruct hierarchy. Therefore, the premise of structural neocultural theory holds that class has objective value.

2. Fellini and structuralist desemanticism

"Sexual identity is dead," says Baudrillard. If textual objectivism holds, we have to choose between materialist feminism and subcultural appropriation. In a sense, Bataille suggests the use of structuralist desemanticism to modify and read society.

Reicher[1] implies that we have to choose between materialist feminism and precultural desublimation. But Derrida uses the term 'structuralist desemanticism' to denote the role of the observer as artist.

Bataille promotes the use of textual objectivism to attack class divisions. However, the subject is contextualised into a materialist feminism that includes reality as a totality. Debord uses the term 'Sontagist camp' to denote not constructivism as such, but subconstructivism. In a sense, Sartre suggests the use of textual objectivism to challenge sexuality.

3. Semanticist precultural theory and the structural paradigm of expression

In the works of Fellini, a predominant concept is the concept of subtextual reality. The primary theme of the works of Fellini is the role of the writer as participant. However, if the structural paradigm of expression holds, we have to choose between Lyotardist narrative and dialectic posttextual theory.

The subject is interpolated into a materialist feminism that includes sexuality as a whole. But several narratives concerning textual objectivism may be revealed.

Debord promotes the use of materialist feminism to attack the status quo. In a sense, Bailey[2] suggests that we have to choose between textual objectivism and the conceptual paradigm of reality.

The essay you have just seen is completely meaningless and was randomly generated by the Postmodernism Generator. To generate another essay, follow this link. If you like this particular essay and would like to return to it, follow this link for a bookmarkable page.

The Postmodernism Generator was written by Andrew C. Bulhak using the Dada Engine, a system for generating random text from recursive grammars, and modified very slightly by Josh Larios (this version, anyway. There are others out there).

This installation of the Generator has delivered 1478662 essays since 25/Feb/2000 18:43:09 PST, when it became operational. It is being served from a machine in Seattle, Washington, USA.

More detailed technical information may be found in Monash University Department of Computer Science Technical Report 96/264: "On the Simulation of Postmodernism and Mental Debility Using Recursive Transition Networks". An on-line copy is available from Monash University.

More generated texts are linked to from the Communications From Elsewhere front page.

If you enjoy this, you might also enjoy reading about the Social Text Affair, where NYU Physics Professor Alan Sokal's brilliant(ly meaningless) hoax article was accepted by a cultural criticism publication.
