The Iron Fruit: Neosemioticist textual theory and Foucaultist power relations

1. Consensuses of failure

"Reality is fundamentally a legal fiction," says Bataille. A number of discourses concerning the paradigm, and eventually the rubicon, of capitalist society exist.

In the works of Spelling, a predominant concept is the concept of posttextual culture. It could be said that Marx uses the term 'dialectic capitalism' to denote the bridge between class and society. The premise of Foucaultist power relations holds that narrativity is capable of social comment.

Therefore, if Lacanist obscurity holds, we have to choose between Foucaultist power relations and the pretextual paradigm of expression. Several narratives concerning capitalist rationalism may be found.

It could be said that the subject is contextualised into a Lacanist obscurity that includes sexuality as a whole. Debord promotes the use of the postdialectic paradigm of context to deconstruct hierarchy.

In a sense, the main theme of Reicher's[1] model of neosemioticist textual theory is a self-justifying totality. Any number of discourses concerning the role of the participant as observer exist.
2. Foucaultist power relations and conceptual theory

"Sexual identity is responsible for capitalism," says Lyotard. However, the example of neosemioticist textual theory prevalent in Spelling's Melrose Place is also evident in The Heights, although in a more subdialectic sense. La Fournier[2] states that we have to choose between the neotextual paradigm of discourse and Lyotardist narrative.

"Class is part of the fatal flaw of reality," says Sartre; however, according to d'Erlette[3] , it is not so much class that is part of the fatal flaw of reality, but rather the collapse of class. It could be said that Debord suggests the use of conceptual theory to analyse and challenge sexual identity. Sartre uses the term 'neosemioticist textual theory' to denote the difference between society and sexual identity.

Therefore, a number of desublimations concerning the cultural paradigm of expression may be discovered. The primary theme of the works of Spelling is the failure, and some would say the genre, of neoconceptual language.

It could be said that any number of discourses concerning a mythopoetical paradox exist. If conceptual theory holds, we have to choose between neosemioticist textual theory and cultural deconstruction.

However, the characteristic theme of Cameron's[4] critique of precapitalist discourse is the role of the artist as reader. La Tournier[5] implies that we have to choose between Foucaultist power relations and Debordist situation.

The essay you have just seen is completely meaningless and was randomly generated by the Postmodernism Generator.

The Postmodernism Generator was written by Andrew C. Bulhak using the Dada Engine, a system for generating random text from recursive grammars, and modified very slightly by Josh Larios (this version, anyway. There are others out there).

This installation of the Generator has delivered 1624923 essays since 25/Feb/2000 18:43:09 PST, when it became operational. It is being served from a machine in Seattle, Washington, USA.

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.
