1. The subdialectic paradigm of discourse and Sontagist camp
Text generator from the Postmodern Generator here.“Society is part of the meaninglessness of language,” says Baudrillard;

however, according to McElwaine[1 ], it is not so much

society that is part of the meaninglessness of language, but rather the

defining characteristic of society. The characteristic theme of Scuglia’s[2 ] critique of Sontagist camp is a mythopoetical totality.

“Sexual identity is fundamentally dead,” says Debord. Therefore,

subcapitalist narrative suggests that the collective is part of the collapse of

reality. Bataille promotes the use of the subdialectic paradigm of discourse to

modify society.

“Culture is intrinsically used in the service of capitalism,” says Debord;

however, according to Hubbard[3 ], it is not so much culture

that is intrinsically used in the service of capitalism, but rather the fatal

flaw, and some would say the defining characteristic, of culture. But if

Sontagist camp holds, we have to choose between the subdialectic paradigm of

discourse and the dialectic paradigm of reality. Foucault uses the term

‘Sontagist camp’ to denote not theory, as postcultural appropriation suggests,

but neotheory.

In a sense, any number of discourses concerning prematerialist nihilism may

be discovered. In The Crying of Lot 49, Pynchon affirms the dialectic

paradigm of consensus; in Gravity’s Rainbow, however, he denies

Sontagist camp.

Therefore, Drucker[4 ] implies that we have to choose

between the subdialectic paradigm of discourse and textual dematerialism. The

creation/destruction distinction depicted in Pynchon’s Vineland emerges

again in Gravity’s Rainbow.

However, the primary theme of the works of Pynchon is the role of the artist

as poet. Sartre’s essay on prematerialist nihilism states that the purpose of

the participant is deconstruction.

Thus, if Derridaist reading holds, the works of Pynchon are postmodern.

Drucker[5 ] implies that we have to choose between the

subdialectic paradigm of discourse and Foucaultist power relations.

2. Pynchon and Sontagist camp
In the works of Pynchon, a predominant concept is the concept of

subpatriarchial narrativity. Therefore, Lyotard uses the term ‘prematerialist

nihilism’ to denote not desituationism, but neodesituationism. If the

subdialectic paradigm of discourse holds, we have to choose between textual

sublimation and Sartreist existentialism.

If one examines the subdialectic paradigm of discourse, one is faced with a

choice: either accept Sontagist camp or conclude that reality is unattainable.

However, prematerialist nihilism states that sexuality may be used to entrench

sexist perceptions of society, given that the premise of Sontagist camp is

valid. Baudrillard uses the term ‘the subdialectic paradigm of discourse’ to

denote the difference between culture and class.

It could be said that von Junz[6 ] holds that we have to

choose between prematerialist nihilism and dialectic construction. A number of

discourses concerning not narrative as such, but postnarrative exist.

However, neocultural capitalist theory states that the goal of the observer

is significant form. If the subdialectic paradigm of discourse holds, we have

to choose between prematerialist nihilism and the pretextual paradigm of

expression.

Thus, Sontag’s model of the subdialectic paradigm of discourse suggests that

society, som ewhat surprisingly, has objective value, but only if sexuality is

distinct from culture; otherwise, the purpose of the poet is social comment.

Lyotard uses the term ‘prematerialist nihilism’ to denote the role of the

reader as artist. 1. McElwaine, R. A. G. ed. (1999)
