[FRA:] Marcuse question

[matthew piscioneri]

Fred,
If yes, then its the ongoing negative dialectics of subverting the dominant 
paradigm, at least until such time as the subversion of the dominant 
paradigm, becomes -- well, er -- the dominant paradigm.
-----------------------------
Recently found p/t employment in a coterie of PoMo-ists -- and I like a lot 
of PoMo theory -- but i was a little shocked at just how dirty a word 
"modernist" or "modernism" had become.

After an enlightening discussion of the supposedly now-discredited 
right/wrong binary in terms of "error" correction theory, I thought how come 
everything that is modernist can be so *wrong* and everything PoMO, so 
*right*. Not very much of a spectrum of values when it comes to the 
PoMo/Modernist binary :-).
-----------------------------
Lately, recognition of the unbearable persistence of negative being a.k.a 
the status quo a.k.a the will to power a.k.a the world of suffering has led 
me away from too much masochistic fretting about all the noble concerns of 
Critical Theory.

cheers,
