Glittering Images by Camille Paglia
I stopped reading after this horrendous introduction. I would describe the prose as Redditor adjacent. The author identifies as a civil rights era liberal and atheist, while condemning black art and Piss Christ. There were some pretty pictures in the book tho. I don't know who this author lady is/was but she sucks. 2/10
E: if you look this lady up, as many in the comments have done already, turns out she's a racist, transphobic pedophile. classic anticommunist
Materialism != Dialectical Materialism
That's kinda the whole point. The body and the mind (base/superstructure, cause/effect, whatever it is you want to call it) are linked through a dialectical relationship. What those things are doesn't matter, because it's their conflict that creates the Real.
The grounding factor of Dialectical Materialism is that the movement of the dialectic is observable in material reality and you can therefore infer things about the relationship between those concepts from that movement.
