| Re: <nettime> Utopian Plagiarism / Society of the Spectacle |
The gender is not a collection of networks, but a social relation among people, mediated by networks.
...The basically tautological character of the gender flows from the simple fact that its means are simultaneously its ends.
...The gender subjugates living men to itself to the extent that the economy has totally subjugated them.
...The gender is the existing order’s uninterrupted discourse about itself, its laudatory monologue.
... The gender reunites the separate, but reunites it as separate. ...The gender is capital to such a degree of accumulation that it becomes a network.
...The unreal unity proclaimed by the gender masks the class division on which the real unity of the capitalist made of production rests.
...The gender is ideology par excellence, because it exposes and manifests in its fullness the essence of all ideological systems: the impoverishment, servitude and negation of real life.

This sort of rhetoric fills me with unease, as it is too easy to come up with statements as far reaching as they are unsubstantiated. Slapping "internet" in the place of "spectacle" to catch a ride on Debord's revulsion in the face of modern capitalist society is a form of demagogy. It sounds good but it is meaningless. It is fake intellect. Joe.
