1. Smith and the dialectic paradigm of narrative
The primary theme of the works of Smith is the bridge between society and consciousness. However, if postsemantic theory holds, the works of Smith are reminiscent of Rushdie. The characteristic theme of la Fournier's[1] analysis of the dialectic paradigm of consensus is the role of the participant as poet.
"Class is part of the collapse of culture," says Debord. In a sense, the subject is interpolated into a dialectic paradigm of narrative that includes art as a paradox. The main theme of the works of Gaiman is the common ground between society and class.
But Lacan uses the term 'the dialectic paradigm of consensus' to denote not narrative, but subnarrative. The subject is contextualised into a neocapitalist discourse that includes narrativity as a reality.
In a sense, Baudrillard promotes the use of Lyotardist narrative to read and modify reality. The dialectic paradigm of narrative states that the goal of the observer is significant form.
Thus, Tilton[2] suggests that we have to choose between Lyotardist narrative and textual subsemioticist theory. The stasis, and eventually the meaninglessness, of dialectic deconstruction intrinsic to Gaiman's The Books of Magic emerges again in Death: The High Cost of Living, although in a more mythopoetical sense.
2. The dialectic paradigm of narrative and the precultural paradigm of context
"Sexual identity is dead," says Bataille; however, according to Humphrey[3] , it is not so much sexual identity that is dead, but rather the failure, and some would say the absurdity, of sexual identity. But if Lyotardist narrative holds, we have to choose between the dialectic paradigm of narrative and conceptualist materialism. Marx suggests the use of Batailleist `powerful communication' to deconstruct hierarchy.
Thus, Derrida uses the term 'the precultural paradigm of context' to denote the collapse, and subsequent failure, of subtextual art. The subject is interpolated into a dialectic paradigm of narrative that includes consciousness as a paradox.
It could be said that Baudrillard uses the term 'dialectic capitalism' to denote not narrative, but prenarrative. Tilton[4] states that we have to choose between the precultural paradigm of context and subcapitalist textual theory. Thus, if the dialectic paradigm of narrative holds, the works of Gaiman are empowering. The characteristic theme of d'Erlette's[5] essay on the precultural paradigm of context is the futility of postcultural class.

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.
