Confessions of a Movie Slut Part Deux

ruminations of one diana, a journalist and cadet reporter obssessed over all things celluloid. a po-mo culturalist who has recently rediscovered her love for writing fiction, she hopes to meet life head-on with less fear and more gusto. these are her confessions.

Owwie. Think I Broke Something.

"the moderate critic might concede that some part of 'sex' is constructed, but some other is certainly not, and then, of course, find him or herself not only under some obligation to draw the line between what is and what is not constructed, but to explain how it is that 'sex' comes in parts whose differentiation is not a matter of construction. but as that line of demarcation between such ostensible parts get drawn, the 'unconstructed' becomes bounded once again through signifying practice, and the very boundary which is meant to protect some part of sex from the taint of constructivism is now defined by the anti-constructivist's own construction."
