she is absolutely brilliant...easy to fall in love with. i'd love to be in her class.

Camille is BRILLIANT. What a breath of fresh air! Woman ARE the dominant sex! Every married male I know has to permission to do anything outside of work--and if the wife says no, then no it is! I have never seen this so-called oppression of woman.

"A kind of anarchy to the young"? What a terrible analysis of the 80's and AIDS. Please, please Camille, just go back to the library and get another book, one that isn't turning you into a traitor of our time!

This is not the best Camille interview.

I don't agree with Paglia on many key issues, like technology and industrial civilization, which she adores and I strongly resent, but her open hostility towards the obscurantist tradition of French intellectualism and her unique, non-constructionist style of feminism are very refreshing, especially as they are coming from a woman academic working in the humanities.

@meddlecascade i love my 'random rights' and my 'sinister sisters' (like camille,) and chaps who make rants into poems. poetry, intellectual literacy and non p.c feminism are three things our culture abominates. who wants to think about ambiguity and paradox if we can be bottle-fed instead!

being from the land of serendipity i love happy accidents, which is how i ran into you, and if you really did that stuff extemporaneously you are either a genius or you have a chip implanted in your brain.

Brava! ‘Sexual Personæ’ is a must read for anyone interested in western æsthetics. Her study of Wuthering Heights alone worth the effort, and now I cant read anything without, if not thinking “What would Camile say,” then at least reading with a desire to look deep into the text – deeper even than close reading. Though her polemics sometimes sound hyperliterate, imho she never obfuscates, and expresses her insights very clearly.

She always makes me think!

cheers.

@theinkbrain When I first read about her I didn't like her, but when I began to shift from my own uber liberal solipsism, I found refuge with many of her ideas. I am reading Sexual Personae now, I don't understand alot of the flack feminists give her. She is a feminist through and through. I 'm just sorry that her sex-positive feminism is a total crock now, and the general public don't understand the complexity within sexuality, including media representation of porn. From Madonna to Britney.

I love that crazy little wop
