Romps Smite Don
by Robert Paul
I personally did not think that Alan Sokal's
(An All Soaks: Soaks = hoax) paper was one bit funny. Here is an NYU Professor
(Nurse roof spy = voyeur) who, from the hegemonic penthouse of the dominant,
male, white, urban (urbane = ur/bane = original poison), scientific
(scenic/if/it = I fit), kulchur, pretends to have mastered the Lacanian,
but has instead
revealed his fixation with the laconic (la/conic = phallic), viz., by setting
up linguistic traffic cones in a transparent effort to keep discourse
(dis/course = this course = dis = insult, denigrate = denigrate speech/the act
of uttering) within straight lines by means of phallic barriers. But he should
realize how readily toppled these barriers are; it is not as easy to
marginalize diversity as this master of microscopes (Comes Sir Cop!) believes,
even though by believing it he belies believing it through the very anti-act of
belittlement which is encoded in its
rhetorical, pre-gestural form of ritual denial and pre-entropic entrapment. By
keeping word and world in pre-judgmental tension we can remain centered and
distanced from such re-marginalizing contexts, and see them for what they are:
con-texts.
