Postmodern Thesis Generator <http://www.elsewhere.org/cgi-bin/postmodern>: Poststructuralist textual theory and conceptual subdialectic theory Henry S. Werther Department of Sociology, University of Illinois Jane O. U. Bailey Department of Sociology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology 1. Smith and conceptual subdialectic theory If one examines the dialectic paradigm of discourse, one is faced with a choice: either reject postcultural capitalist theory or conclude that society, surprisingly, has objective value. The without/within distinction prevalent in Smith's Clerks emerges again in Dogma. But Lacan promotes the use of Derridaist reading to modify and deconstruct class. "Society is part of the paradigm of sexuality," says Lyotard; however, according to Dahmus[1] , it is not so much society that is part of the paradigm of sexuality, but rather the dialectic, and subsequent absurdity, of society. De Selby[2] states that we have to choose between postcultural capitalist theory and capitalist discourse. Therefore, postpatriarchialist semiotic theory suggests that language is capable of truth. The main theme of Geoffrey's[3] critique of poststructuralist textual theory is a self-falsifying totality. In The Aesthetics of Thomas Aquinas, Eco examines postcultural capitalist theory; in Foucault's Pendulum, however, he analyses cultural objectivism. But Bataille's model of poststructuralist textual theory implies that context is created by communication, given that sexuality is equal to narrativity. If one examines conceptual subdialectic theory, one is faced with a choice: either accept the neocapitalist paradigm of discourse or conclude that the establishment is capable of significance. If poststructuralist textual theory holds, the works of Eco are an example of mythopoetical capitalism. Thus, Baudrillard suggests the use of conceptual subdialectic theory to attack the status quo. Debord uses the term 'postcultural capitalist theory' to denote the role of the reader as observer. But Drucker[4] holds that we have to choose between poststructuralist textual theory and textual theory. The premise of postcultural capitalist theory states that expression comes from the masses. Thus, if poststructuralist textual theory holds, we have to choose between postcultural capitalist theory and subcapitalist textual theory. The example of poststructuralist textual theory which is a central theme of Eco's The Island of the Day Before is also evident in The Name of the Rose, although in a more self-fulfilling sense. In a sense, several discourses concerning postcultural capitalist theory exist. Lacan uses the term 'poststructuralist textual theory' to denote a precapitalist reality. Therefore, in The Aesthetics of Thomas Aquinas, Eco denies postcultural capitalist theory; in The Limits of Interpretation (Advances in Semiotics) he analyses conceptual subdialectic theory. Marx promotes the use of cultural theory to modify class. Thus, the meaninglessness, and therefore the economy, of conceptual subdialectic theory intrinsic to Eco's Foucault's Pendulum emerges again in The Island of the Day Before. 2.
