Paglia’s hate towards Sontag is so funny. She clearly venerated Sontag until Sontag offhandedly dismissed her, then Paglia almost instantly started waging a war against her - insisting Sontag was just jealous of her. Sontag bruised Paglia’s ego by dismissing the supposed social influence Paglia had ascribed to herself. Her hate for Sontag is a classic case of scorn emanating from rejection, from one of her idols no less. I think all Paglia’s public opprobrium of Sontag was actually a desperate attempt to capture her attention.

Interesting, because now Paglia has become what she claimed Sontag was in the early 90s. She constantly berates new music as lacking depth, criticizes modern art as solipsistic and full of nihilism, while haranguing about the digitization of art, and constantly credits her generation as everything this one isn't. She doesn't follow pop culture like she use to then. Stop me if you if you heard this one before: "I'm a product of the 60's", "I'm a Baby Boomer", "My generation was the first" and so forth. I agree with her on many points, but she's in danger of sounding as out of it and as faded as she charged Sontag with here.

Praesepe Such is the curse of age, we often recoil in onto ourselves. When we are younger we explore everything but as we grow older, with death on our heels and nostalgia on out mind, we return only to the most significant places from our exploring days, the ones that remind us of the spirit of our youth. For example, BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel was famous for playing obscure or new music on his show that others wouldn't touch, but throughout his life, and especially in his final decade, he often played the music he grew up with, country and rockabilly, or new music that had the spirit of his old love, hence his obsession with PJ Harvey and the White Stripes as well as Laura Cantrell, the Fall and Pavement, all of whom were inspired by the blues, country and rockabilly in some way.

+Kid Koon I think there's much more to the recoiling of ourselves than that of old age. Shielding oneself from the harshness of people and the intrusion of the external world is one. Sontag seems like such an individual; a staunch introvert with a definite idea how she wants her immediate environment to be structured around her. Paglia seems to mistake this selectivity for snobbishness and disengagement. Paglia is in many ways like Madonna. Both ruthlessly recycle other ideas from people and do so with added flair and gumption. Does this make for an interesting figure in pop music (Madonna) or syncretic academic (Paglia)? Yes. Does this make for substance? No. Both Madonna and Paglia are indebted to the original ideas of their progenitors and need a slew of gimmicks and mainstays to maintain public interest in their personas. Madonna with her cynical business savvy, changing her image to stay atop current trends, exploiting Americans’ prurient in sexuality to garner controversy. Paglia by pretending to be voice to essentially conservative sympathies without naming it as such, and identifying herself as a self-styled 60’s era Boomer dissident who is aware of the decadence caused by her generation. She sets the table for reactionary sympathies to develop in response to this decadence, but if you read into her carefully, that’s not what she advocates for, thankfully. And Paglia is always fighting against mainline feminists, while not abandoning the term altogether to describe herself with, because after all, if the solution is to defect from the movement altogether, what reason will there be to criticize? Paglia, like Madonna, is original in her presentation, which initially interested me. She presents things in a refreshing way. But Sontag is the original mother for me. I also relate to her, as a fellow introvert.

" ... and suddenly people realised just how interesting I am!" Word perfect. However, for all her interestingness, she is still ignored and not taken seriously by the media, or academia, or mainstream feminism, or politicians, or the general public. So what is going on? Answer: She states too many truth bombs for them all. Talk after talk, Camille laments her being ignored, her small profile. She says there's a conspiracy against her. But I think it is because she is so self-transcendent (ie, doesn't give a shit about what anyone thinks of her) that her abrasive and (seemingly) arogant nature makes people attack or dismiss the messenger rather than attending to her incredibly incisive messages. Like so many commenters here below -- "Agh, she's so nasty" -- meaning, I can't be bothered to think through what she just said. Such a shame.

I got "Sexual Personae" around '92 at a Brooklyn bookstore because my favorite professors were bringing it to class and reading excerpts and laughing at how brilliant and hilarious it was, particularly the chapters on American Late Romanticism and Emily DIckinson. For those who believe all this liquid gender nonsense is something new, I went to a dinner party for a poet on the Upper West Side mid-Nineties and got into a tête-à-tête with the guest of honor where I told her there are biological differences in the sexes and she gasped, wine glass in hand, and said, "You can't say that!" Camille Paglia was what Norman Mailer never had the balls to be in his debates with these harpies, he sheepishly shrugged when the feminists bashed him and tried to charm them with gentlemanly behavior. If they called him a born rapist he would just deflect with something like "But what about all the men raped in prison." Paglia just whipped it out and said "If civilization had been left in female hands, we would all be living in grass huts" and their only response was to try and pretend her away out of fear, they wanted no part of her, she would've knocked them out in mass media.

Paglia and Sontag share a kind of pernicious arrogance, about their self-attributed positions of 'dominance' in the arena of Cultural/Literary Politics. This recalls the jousting of American male writers of another generation, call it an exhausted stance for anyone to take, in the here and now! Or are the ego's of writers, who have gained success, subject to the same need, to cast themselves as arbiters of what is and isn't relevant, in their quest for a dominance no one can possess? A quote from Paglia's Wikipedia page entry is revelatory: ' Michiko Kakutani, also writing for The New York Times, wrote: "Her writings on education ... are highly persuasive, just as some of her essays on the perils of regulating pornography and the puritanical excesses of the women's movement radiate a fierce common sense ...

Camille Paglia has got to be one of the most annoying people on the planet. She's more famous for arguing against other theorists than for her own work. And come on, she hates the French because she can't understand them. Oh, and that was one too many homophobic hints against Foucault coming from a feminist. She was not the Sontag of the 90s, or the Sontag of ever. Her arguments against other theorists are merely oversimplifications of their work. She's good at verbal ranting, like she does in the video, and in written ranting, but afraid of thought. So, let's dismiss Sontag, and let's dismiss Butler, who she has also not-so-gracefully dissed, and all hail Camille Paglia, the go-to authority for juvenile arguing. p.s.- I love you Susan p.s. 2- Camille, you're just mad because you 'can't sit with her'!

@morganblackwood People who talk that quickly are super smart, which has no bearing on whether one finds them annoying. I just try to keep up! There's a difference between self-obsessed and unapologetic about one's accomplishments and abilities. Paglia's self confidence isn't what's lacking in feminism (though try to get a feminist to debate you for an audience), but what makes her a...for lack of a better word..."righteous" or "right on" feminist, is her ability to be evidence-based in her thinking and conclusions, her non-ideological approach, her honesty, and the courage to put herself out there like she does. It's easy to be the kind of feminist who plays victim and hates men; it takes no courage at all. Those folks get all sorts of support, affirmation, media attention, and even laughter at men's expense. But when you're speaking up against that type of feminist, or merely speaking out in support of men's issues, you're more likely to get silenced, at best (even as the Right to Free Speech is forgotten). It will change if we continue to take the Camille Paglias of the world more seriously. It's already happening, and the feminists in charge of academe know it, which is why they keep moving the field goal to "but men are all rapists!" and why they're making it a hostile environment for men, a tactic which isn't only being used in colleges and universities, but in society proper. Have you watched a sitcom or commercial lately? The way women are portrayed vs. the way men are portrayed.... They're vehicles for ideological teaching, and misandry is the major field of study. We enjoy our world at the expense of men. Last time (and every single time) I looked, everything I see has been built by men with families, for the benefit of their families, and for the benefit of every single woman I see. As well as for me, and I am so grateful to them. I even tell them sometimes, like utilities workers and garbage men; they're always shocked and very happy to hear it. Why doesn't Hallmark make cards for them? Instead, they make cards absolutely denigrating men, the way the Nazis spoke about Jews. And make a killing doing it, too. Which speaks volumes. The very men who make our world worth living are the men who get the most hate. Talk about ungrateful. Men try so hard to please, especially women, and they do such a mind-boggling amount for everyone's benefit. Usually with a sense of humor, too. I could never marginalize men, as a group, nor hate them. What type of person would even do that? A lot of 'em, that's who! Women and men who were of age during the advent of third wave feminism (like Paglia or Warren Farrell), aren't going to be around forever. They're late 60s/early 70s in age. Going back as far as they do, and the vast amount of knowledge and experience they possess, gives them a level of credibility, knowledge, and advice we're not likely to see again, if not for a while, than for our entire life times. We need to get to know them now, instead of later. Seems most people are easily seduced by some sort of ideology (including, of course cultural feminism), while others of us have a knack for naturally avoiding them. Ideology is a very terrible thing. I dig how it really doesn't seem to tempt Paglia. (I've seen several videos of her speaking.) I just bought "Sexual Personae" and will read it when I'm done with my fifth Warren Farrell book. Looking forward to it.

I wouldn't be surprised that Sontag hasn't heard of Pagli nor cares who she is. Paglia can't even say anything intelligent her she just reverts to some personal attack. Well anyone can do that. She calls herself the Sontag of the 90's, but she's just a wannabe pseudo-intellectual. See, easy.

Paglia is terribly bright, a good writer, and knows which way the winds blow. And she probably came as close as anyone to supplanting Sontag -- but she still missed by a mile.

She doesn't watch TV and she's not into rock? How is that a valid criticism? Is it valid to denounce someone in this generation for not surfing KZitem and not listening to Taylor swift? That was just a ridiculous and catty thing to say.

Kyle Whitehead I think her criticism is that Sontag has distanced herself from everyday people and what is relevant to them while still claiming to be relevant and to be a voice of the people. Honestly, as much as I admire Paglia for her ideas, she also sounds very self righteous here and catty, especially at the end, and had this been my first encounter with her I fear I may not have ventured further.

I do not dislike Paglia, though one wonders what could have made her the "Susan Sontag of the 90s" given that Paglia's most influential book of that decade was roundly attacked and condemned by feminist critics.

+MinamuTV That's the point. Sontag began as a famous dissident. Paglia was a famous dissident of the 90s and continues to be one today along with people like Milo Yiannopoulos.

Being lauded by your peers is often the marker of writing that will not remain relevant after a decade or so. Paglia's work is timeless and only grows in significance as time passes.

Rose Red I hope that my comment didn't leave the impression that I am a critic of Paglia's work, or unaware of the relationship between brilliance and one's being initially misunderstood. Paglia is one of the intellectuals I most follow, and she has been right about many things. My intended argument was simply that Sontag arguably never wrote anything quite as divisive as _Sexual Personae_.

@Buirgenstock Camille Paglia is very much a polymath, in the true sense of the word. She is like Sontag in this sense- she seems interested in, & a student of, EVERYTHING. What I admire about her, is even though she may say, or write, something that is dismaying in my opinion, I am happier anyway that she endeavors to continually shift the center in any given discourse. But yeah, check out "SP" & "BBB"- & those essays for Arion. She's worthwhile. (And so is Sontag!)

Camille is always interesting and enlightening even though she pisses me off and I disagree with her often (her more recent Salon articles have been particularly disappointing). Kids of today must read her work and form their own opinions. This posturing "who the hell is Paglia" crap only reveals your own insular awareness. She knocked the feminist and cultural establishment on its ass!!!
