The basic conflict in criticism today is between humanism and deconstruction, between the post-structuralist dissolution of subject and the attempt to reaffirm traditional humanistic values. Rather than take sides in this debate, my goal is to transcend it by developing a theory of subjectivity that cuts through the conceptual limitations of both frameworks.
My basic argument is that to attain an adequate theory of subject we need to achieve a principled dialectical integration of four contexts of thought that are usually opposed: Hegelian phenomenology, existentialism, Marxism, and psychoanalysis.

The basic conflict in this thing where obvs only white men’s opinions count, primarily, my white man opinion, today is between this one thing that white men came up with ostensibly, and like, this other thing that is totally a white dude thing, right, between the white dude dissolution of white man subject and the white man attempt to white reaffirm man traditional white man white. Rather than white man dude white white in this white man, my white dude is to white it by dude a white theory of man that white through the dude of white man white man.
My white man is that white an adequate white man of dude white need to achieve a principled white man dude dude white man integration of four white man white of white that are usually white man: white man, dude, white dude, white and white man.

i appreciate these, both, and feel that the problems they articulate are both approachable through deconstruction.

Yes, very funny. But, it must be said, too, that sometimes those white men actually had some pretty good ideas. Why not...

Heidegger’s neat and everything ontologically but I wouldn’t really want to use him as any basis for humanistic analysis...
