"At the core of this performative left lies the idea that
ÒidentityÓ is founded on an ÒimpossibilityÓ Ñ the ÒlackÓ of a reliable
anchorage in the extra-discursive real Ñ which when ÒrevealedÓ subverts
the ÒconceptÓ and leads to the free and equal disseminati on of ÒpleasureÓ
for everyone.  ÒPleasureÓ is meant to reference that ÒmomentÓ when
everyday means-end rationality Ñ the conventional adequation of signifier
to signified Ñ is disrupted and ÒmeaningÓ is liberated from its compulsory
cultural normativity."

Yeah, whatever.
