the relationship between the delegitimization of structural identity

[arely staircase]

and the engendering of empowerment at least achieves the doubtful virtue of innocuousness.

1. Can you restate that in English?

[kenny blankenship]

2. I feel this post is othering me

Yes, distinctly. So I chose "other".

[arely staircase]

4. did you?

or did other chose you?

[eridani]

3. WTF? No WTF? option? n/t

[arely staircase]

10. i never use wtf. why?

because wtf is a given, not just in the OP but in life, perhaps beyond.

[eridani]

12. Deep

So why isn't this in the Buddhism group?

[BainsBane]

18. +1

[Kali]

5. other

beer and travel money


and many experiences

[tkmorris]

6. That was rather a Random Thought

[freshwest]

7. Both!!! We don't *do* innocuousness at DU, but we should!

[arely staircase]

11. innocuousness is like

and we're all

[petronius]

8. To posit such an ontological dichotomy as a phenomenological "real" may advance

an heuristic examination of socio-cultural discourse, but it is excessively reductionist to ignore the role of hybridity in the construction and performance of an n-dimensional, semi-chaotic, post-positivist epistemology...

[arely staircase]

9. perhaps it is reductionist

but not excessively so.

[Kalidurga]

13. totally disagree

there is no such thing as a legitimate structural identity. Therefore nothing is achieved by pretending to knock down such a structure that doesn't exist in the first place. But, it does happen quite often that when people do knock down such structures some people feel the need to build them back up and rage about it for decades on hate radio.

[arely staircase]

14. a straw identity!

eom

[Kalidurga]

17. awesome

you got that!!!

[arely staircase]

34. and you seem to have been one of the few to "get" the whole thing

thank you for being smart.

[sibelian]

21. "...there is no such thing as a legitimate structural identity..."

Ahhhh. But is that claim falsifiable?

[Kalidurga]

23. No more falsifiable than claim there are no pink unicorns...

flying around on the other side of the sun...

[sibelian]

24. But the credibility of that analogous claim

would not ordinarily be in dispute. It's a straw unfalsifiability. !

[jazzimov]

22. Actually, there is - BUT it's impossible for anyone

to actually know what it is. Outsiders don't have enough information to accurately assess other's identities. As for ourselves, no one is totally objective when it comes to assessing our own identity.

15. Outing OPs--Textual objectivism and subcultural narrative

http://www.elsewhere.org/pomo/

In the works of Stone, a predominant concept is the concept of textual culture. Lyotard promotes the use of subcultural narrative to read sexual identity. In a sense, the fatal flaw, and some would say the rubicon, of subdialectic conceptualist theory which is a central theme of Stone’s Heaven and Earth emerges again in JFK, although in a more neostructuralist sense.

If one examines preconstructive discourse, one is faced with a choice: either reject cultural feminism or conclude that reality must come from the collective unconscious. Hamburger[1] holds that we have to choose between preconstructive discourse and semioticist theory. But subdialectic conceptualist theory states that the task of the observer is social comment.

If postcultural textual theory holds, the works of Stone are not postmodern. However, Reicher[2] implies that we have to choose between subcultural narrative and Lacanist obscurity.

The premise of preconstructive discourse states that art is used to entrench hierarchy. Thus, a number of theories concerning the paradigm of dialectic class exist.

The main theme of Prinn’s[3] analysis of subcultural narrative is not, in fact, depatriarchialism, but postdepatriarchialism. But the example of subdialectic conceptualist theory intrinsic to Stone’s Natural Born Killers is also evident in Platoon.

[arely staircase]

16. like i tell my kids everyday

postdepatriarchialism

[Le Taz Hot]

19. Did the philosophy group

start and I wasn't informed?

[UnrepentantLiberal]

29. Yes.

[jazzimov]

20. Disagree. They are exact opposites.

Therefore, the relationship between them is anything but innocuous.

25. word salad. lofty word salad, but still word salad. Orwell would have

lit into you for this. Without context- and you provide none- your words are nothing more than pretentious garble.

Orwell's rules for writing:

1. Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.

2. Never use a long word where a short one will do.

3. If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.

4. Never use the passive where you can use the active.

5. Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.

http://www.orwell.ru/library/essays/politics/english/e_polit

And my observation:

The best writers are able to distill complex ideas into comprehensible language without condescending to their audience.

[arely staircase]

26. it isn't condescending

condescending would be to use words like "pretentious garble."

Besides, I am changing the paradigm.

And what does Orwell know? Last I checked he's dead.

[cali]

30. what does Orwell know? Uh, as anyone who's actually read his essays and novels

knows, he knew a great deal. And he certainly knew a fuck of a lot about writing.

If you can't distill your op into a form that is comprehensible to your readers, that is YOUR failure.

[arely staircase]

32. this just gets better and better

sometimes we can't see the forest for the trees i suppose.

[bemildred]

27. I would say "doubtful virtue of vacuousness", but otherwise, yeah. nt

[datasuspect]

28. these words don't mean anything

the post is merely a display of poorly understood concepts mashed together to produce a feeble attempt at profundity.

[arely staircase]

33. yes, yes and no eom

[UnrepentantLiberal]

31. The fragmentation of realism is nearly obtuse in its morphology.
