      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)

      You just can't discipline yourself, Camille, to sit down and read him. Too bad. Most American intellectuals, Jordan Peterson included, just don't seem to have the discipline to read French po-mo theory.

      To what do you attribute their lack of discipline, @johndavidebert? More symptom than cause, no?

      These guys are really tough to read and they take a long time to work through. It took me about a decade to finally work my way up through them. Sokal and Bricmont's Fashionable Nonsense is another example of a total failure to sit down and understand them.

      If anyone is guilty here of “not reading,” it is you. Paglia has spent the last three decades criticizing the post-structuralists and their ideas, most notably in “Junk Bonds And Corporate Raiders.” The idea that they are just “too difficult” for all but a few is self-flattery.

      Ha, ha, if that were true then I would've been hearing her critique specific concepts and ideas in Foucault, Derrida or Deleuze. And she hasn't read Heidegger, and you can't understand Derrida without Heidegger. No I sense laziness.

      She says Foucault borrows from Heidegger among many others. It’s sad that you wasted 10 years reading bad philosophy when you could have been working to write better poetry and film criticism. Next lifetime, perhaps?

      Well I didn't just read po-mo thought. I read everything. The whole history of philosophy. Sorry to disappoint you but you obviously know nothing about me or my work. That's YOUR limitation, not mine.

      I’ve seen your prose broken into lines that you classify as poetry, and I’ve seen your foolish notion that Lynch’s terrible Twin Peaks revamp possesses intellectual depth. All that reading has apparently given you very little insight.

      Then you're in the minority. And apparently don't, won't or can't understand popular culture and how it works. I used to think po-mo thought was shit too, way back. Until I sat down with the books and learned to engage with them and give them a fair hearing.

          You don’t need Foucault & co. to understand either art or popular culture. Postmodernism was a misdiagnosis of art & culture in the 20th century as it was happening, and post-structuralism was faddish philosophies dumped into undergraduate curriculum by conformist professors.
