  Camile Paglia and John Norman: Birds of a Feather?
One of the things I find most striking about Camille Paglia is the similarities between the way she and John Norman are treated by PC feminists and mainstream media -- considering how very dissimilar they are as writers and thinkers.
Paglia's conflict with PC feminists is more direct and more public, with PC feminists directly attacking her, while she is not at all shy about publicly attacking them.
Norman and Paglia are birds of a feather because they both hold ideas about relations between the sexes that are different from those held by PC feminists, and those held by mainstream culture.

  Kids.Net.Au - Encyclopedia > Camile Paglia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Camille Paglia (born April 2, 1947) is a social critic, author and feminist.
Paglia is an intellectual of many apparent contradictions: a classicist who champions art both high and low, with a Hobbesian view that human nature is inherently dangerous, and yet who also celebrates dionysian revelry in the wilder, darker sides of human sexuality.
Against this backdrop, Camille Paglia appeared on the scene as a female intellectual who enjoyed challenging the left-wing position in these areas, but far from being the usual stodgy conservative, she did so by arguing from an unusual, flashy position that also embraced homosexuality, fetish, and prostitution.

 Camile Paglia Article 3-29-95   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
When Camille Paglia hit the scene in 1990 with the publication of her first book, Sexual Personae, the feminist movement was completely comatose.
Paglia sets the tone for the book in the introduction, writing, "Equal opportunity feminism, which I espouse, demands the removal of all barriers to woman's advance in the political and professional world -- but not at the price of special protections for women, which are infantalizing and anti-democratic.
Camille Paglia, while not an unqualified libertarian (she still has a long ways to go on matters economic) is clearly a force for the good.

Camille Anna Paglia (born April 2, 1947 in Endicott, New York) is an American social critic, intellectual, author and teacher.
Paglia the public intellectual challenged the so-called "liberal establishment" of the day that ruled the roost in media, academia, activism, and politics, including figures such as Gloria Steinem, Andrea Dworkin, prominent academics, and advocacy groups such as National Organization for Women and ACT UP.
Paglia has long been a controversial figure and attracted most of her media exposure through public rows with, amongst others, The Modern Review and an early exit from an ITV News interview.

 Letters: Dancing as fast as she can - Salon
Paglia is a prolific and talented writer but her critical writing skills don't mask the fact that she is a spurned and bitter woman.
Camille complains about Madonna rehashing old beats, then writes such phrases like "the formidable Cintra Wilson said mordantly to me" "which I would argue is an art song that bears comparison to Schubert's famous "Serenade." And my favorite "She has treated the dance idiom cavalierly." All I'm saying is -- pot, kettle.
Paglia truly believes Madonna is becoming the Bette Davis of Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, she may want to chew on the thought of herself as the Victor Buono of that same film: the leech, the pretender, the unloveable loser.

 Bookreporter.com - BREAK, BLOW, BURN by Camile Paglia
The dust jacket to Camille Paglia's BREAK, BLOW, BURN boasts that the famed culture critic who once penned SEXUAL PERSONAE has written a "[d]aring, erudite, entertaining" text that is "destined to become a landmark." Initially such acclaim seems hard to swallow.
Her forty-three readings of distinguished English-language poems demonstrate, however, Paglia's ability to appreciate and critically examine verse from a number of important historical and socio-cultural contexts.
Paglia herself stresses the impact foreign-language poetry has had upon her appreciation of verse.

The ability to appreciate Camile Paglia is - like the ability to enjoy the show ‘24′ on any level at all - a sign of a diseased soul, which can only be cured by the generous application of John Tesh world music videos.
I’m completely with you when it comes to Camille, she lost me years ago when she wrote that since a then fifteen year old Chelsea looked a little uncomfortable sitting with her father at an NBA game, that meant the Clinton’s must be horrible parents.
Paglia along with all those other female anti-feminists, whose opinions would not have been heard or considered even vaguely important without the work of the feminists that they deride, continue to spew these self aggrandizing and patronizing articles about “how things should be”.

Camile Paglia, Blogs and the Decentralization of Meaning: Sure, we bloggers can be both terribly self-absorbed and incestuous.
Whatever their individual level and awareness of complicity with the dominant system, though, just as the economic and political elites of society feel instinctively threatened and repulsed by the free access to and flow of information, the cultural elites fear the diffusion of its interpretation and, thus, meaning.
Writers like Camile Paglia have obviously done their homework and know full-well that there is no shortage of horrible and seemingly pointless writing being done on blogs all over the internet.

 Art New England - October/November 2005 - Book-Basquiat
Camille Paglia begins Break, Blow, Burn with a list of grievances concerning what she deems to be the lamentable state of practice and criticism in the English-language poetry world.
Paglia states: "If humanities expect support and investment from society, there must be a reform of academe..
Her token Beat poem, Blackburn's "The Once-Over," is a "hipster's syncopated ode to female sexual power." The reforms she speaks of in her introduction mirror the neoconservative zeitgeist of our times: The only step forward is twelve steps back.

I don’t know exactly what determines when a new genre is born, and I don’t know if Web log writing is perceived as one, though I’m starting to think it should be.
Now that doesn’t mean that all readers have the same high expectations that Paglia does, but it still means that there has to be a voice.
I think because of the ease with which readers can enter the conversation, bloggers have to have an even higher awareness of what those readers might be thinking, and they have to write in ways that mimic synchronous conversation even though no one else is in the room.

 EastWesterly Review: Review: Camile Pagila's Break Blow Burn
My biggest argument with Paglia in the whole book – in which I argued with her a lot less than I expected to, truth be told – is her stubborn refusal to accept the notion that the author may not be the speaker.
In some poems, the author is clearly not the speaker of the poem and in those cases, she does not assert so.
I think Paglia might have a whole book on Plath in her and, shockingly enough, I would eagerly read it.

For that secret, you have to turn to "Voting Is a Lot Like Sex," Reason magazine's entertaining, 13-page presidential poll of more than 40 big-time policy wonks, journalists and Nobel Prize winners most regular people have never heard of.
Along with diehard but non-voting libertarian celebrities such as Drew Carey and Penn Jillette, Reason's poll -- often silly but informative -- includes the political thoughts of P.J. O'Rourke (who says he'll vote for Bush), Camile Paglia (Kerry), Grateful Dead songwriter John Peter Barlow (Kerry) and Mr.
George, who told Reason's pollsters in August he'll be voting for libertarian Michael Badnarik and is identified as a "West Indian Catholic stand-up comic and recovering Republican flunky."
