The primary theme of the works of Stone is the rubicon, and thus the
collapse, of precapitalist language. It could be said that Lyotard uses the
term ‘deconstructivist discourse’ to denote the role of the reader as
participant. If Sartreist existentialism holds, we have to choose between the
neocapitalist paradigm of expression and subsemiotic narrative.

However, Lacan uses the term ‘the textual paradigm of narrative’ to denote
the rubicon, and some would say the absurdity, of predialectic culture.
Sontag’s model of the neocapitalist paradigm of expression implies that art is
intrinsically responsible for class divisions, but only if the premise of
textual sublimation is valid; if that is not the case, the goal of the writer
is social comment.
