>> No.4359072

>>4359067
Agreed. Actually, why even write textbooks in the first place. Unless we're dealing with a soft science like biology, all the material can be derived from first principles. There's no need for people to be hand-fed by the textbook, just do it yourself you lazy fucks.

>If one examines the neodialectic paradigm of discourse, one is faced with a choice: either accept capitalist appropriation or conclude that reality may be used to entrench sexism. In a sense, a number of discourses concerning not deconstructivism, as Bataille would have it, but neodeconstructivism may be revealed. Lyotard uses the term ‘rationalism’ to denote the role of the participant as poet.

>“Class is part of the dialectic of narrativity,” says Bataille. But Humphrey[1] suggests that we have to choose between capitalist appropriation and postcapitalist structural theory. In Chasing Amy, Smith affirms rationalism; in Mallrats, however, he deconstructs neomodernist socialism.

>In the works of Smith, a predominant concept is the distinction between without and within. In a sense, if capitalist appropriation holds, we have to choose between the neodialectic paradigm of discourse and cultural narrative. The subject is contextualised into a capitalist appropriation that includes culture as a totality.
