I actually followed Camille Paglia from her time as salon columnist and found her really annoying. First of all for someone being celebrated for being provocative she is depressingly mainstream. Her views are generally center-right. She supports and repeats whatever views and opinions corporate america chooses to foist on us, supports the military industrial complex and is guaranteed to go gaga over every female celebrity sex symbol the mainstream media chooses to trot out for our adulation. But she does everything in such complicated convoluted language (liberally throwing in a lot of intellectual talk about sex in there) that she makes herself sound brilliant, radical and revolutionary for dumbly and unquestioningly following the same corporate mainstream. It is really a shame because not all social science is bullshit. There really was great social science and literally theory being done challenging the status quo and looking for ways to make societies better but people like paglia merely just take the air out of the conversation, by taking up attention “being provocative” while not saying much.
