Winner loses

"(...) What happens is that the more powerful the vision of some increasingly total system or logic the more powerless the reader come to feel. Insofar as the theorist wins, therefore, by constructing an increasingly closed and terrifying machine, to that very degree he loses, since the critical capacity of his work is thereby paralyzed, and the impulses of negation and revolt, not to speak of those of social transformation, are increasingly perceived as vain and trivial in the face of the model itself."


F. Jameson
