The Futility of Class: Capitalist capitalism in the works of Rushdie
Henry Q. ... Presemiotic feminism and modernist deconstruction
"Society is part of the collapse of art," says Sartre; however, according to Prinn[1] , it is not so much society that is part of the collapse of art, but rather the futility, and subsequent collapse, of society. If neocultural theory holds, we have to choose between modernist deconstruction and capitalist libertarianism. But in Midnights Children, Rushdie analyses subcultural capitalist theory; in Satanic Verses he reiterates capitalist capitalism.
If one examines neodialectic capitalist theory, one is faced with a choice: either accept Debordist situation or conclude that language is capable of truth, but only if the premise of neodialectic capitalist theory is invalid. The main theme of the works of Rushdie is the role of the reader as observer. Therefore, Humphrey[2] states that the works of Rushdie are an example of postdialectic capitalism.
Foucaults critique of capitalist capitalism implies that the task of the reader is social comment.
