about the misuse of irony:

thinking about alex ross and mythology/then talking to pat, i expressed this thot.

he isnt being ironic or camp, but he is fully aware of how he feels about his subject, he knows what constructions are behind it but he loves it anyways.

then i thot pomo is accused of having a lack of earnestness, but isnt this honest love/warierness of subject, this tangle of intention and desire as enarnest as anything ?

constant self awareness, and deconstruction is an overdose of earnestness not a lack of it.
(madonna kissing britney, dykspoltation, reenactment of the mother/crone or lesbian vampyres vis a vis christabel ?)
