American humanists, untutored in sociology, are knocked out by Foucault’s daring: analyze crime and punishment, prisons and penal codes! Gee, I wish I’d thought of that! Well, Foucault didn’t think of it either. It’s in Durkheim’s The Division of Labour in Society. (SAAC 1992)
And for the record, btw, I like and admire Paglia's work very much. She is actually one of my favorite public intellectuals. But on the matter of po-mo thought, I think she missed the boat, as did Peterson, Neil Postman, William Irwin Thompson and others.

I’m getting a “no true Scotsman” vibe here. No “true scholar” who has fathomed the depths of pomo could possibly criticize it(?) They either did not read or did not “understand?”
