Reassessing Socialist realism: Semantic discourse, Debordist situation and capitalism

F. Ludwig Parry
Department of Sociology, University of Massachusetts, Amherst

Agnes N. Cameron
Department of Literature, Carnegie-Mellon University

1. Debordist situation and subtextual narrative

If one examines Lyotardist narrative, one is faced with a choice: either accept subtextual narrative or conclude that art serves to reinforce capitalism, given that language is distinct from consciousness. In a sense, if Debordist situation holds, we have to choose between Lyotardist narrative and dialectic sublimation. The economy, and hence the dialectic, of Debordist situation intrinsic to Spelling's Charmed is also evident in Models, Inc..

In the works of Spelling, a predominant concept is the distinction between opening and closing. But Sargeant[1] implies that we have to choose between Lyotardist narrative and structural desituationism. The subject is interpolated into a subtextual narrative that includes truth as a totality.

The characteristic theme of Prinn's[2] critique of Debordist situation is the common ground between society and class. It could be said that Baudrillard promotes the use of subtextual narrative to challenge the status quo. In The Heights, Spelling examines Debordist situation; in Melrose Place he analyses Lyotardist narrative.

However, if Sontagist camp holds, we have to choose between subtextual narrative and modern appropriation. The subject is contextualised into a precultural paradigm of context that includes language as a whole.

But an abundance of narratives concerning Debordist situation exist. Derrida suggests the use of capitalist objectivism to read society.

Therefore, Bataille's essay on Lyotardist narrative suggests that academe is capable of significant form. Several semanticisms concerning not discourse, but subdiscourse may be revealed.

In a sense, Lyotard promotes the use of Foucaultist power relations to attack capitalism. The subject is interpolated into a Lyotardist narrative that includes consciousness as a reality.

2. Realities of genre

"Class is part of the paradigm of art," says Lyotard. But Long[3] holds that we have to choose between Debordist situation and Sartreist absurdity. Constructivist narrative states that sexuality may be used to marginalize minorities, but only if Lacan's analysis of Debordist situation is valid; otherwise, discourse is created by the masses.

The primary theme of the works of Spelling is the economy, and eventually the genre, of subcapitalist truth. It could be said that if subtextual narrative holds, the works of Spelling are not postmodern. De Selby[4] holds that we have to choose between Lyotardist narrative and neomodernist rationalism.

However, the subject is contextualised into a Foucaultist power relations that includes art as a totality. If Lyotardist narrative holds, we have to choose between subtextual narrative and dialectic postcapitalist theory.

Therefore, the subject is interpolated into a Lyotardist narrative that includes consciousness as a reality. Baudrillard uses the term 'dialectic appropriation' to denote a mythopoetical whole. However, many theories concerning Debordist situation exist. Sontag uses the term 'neotextual materialism' to denote the bridge between class and society.

Therefore, von Ludwig[5] implies that we have to choose between subtextual narrative and material objectivism. Lacan suggests the use of neocultural discourse to modify and read class.

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 slightly by Josh Larios (this version, anyway. There are others out there).

This installation of the Generator has delivered 661403 essays since 25/Feb/2000 18:43:09 PST, when it became operational. It is being served from a machine in Seattle, Washington, USA. Not Australia, New Zealand, or the Null Device, for the record.

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.
