Camille Paglia on C-Span 1998

Фильм және анимация

In 49 minutes, Camille Paglia covers a lot of ground in this interview from C-Span’s Washington Journal, which aired live on June 4, 1998. She opposes affirmative action and bilingual education and explains why. An avowed lesbian feminist, she hammers both the “feminist establishment” and the “gay activist establishment.” She discusses Bill and Hillary Clinton and the “Rubensian” Monica Lewinsky. She recounts her Italian Catholic upbringing in upstate New York’s “snow belt” and celebrates the strong women in her family. She talks about the worlds of art and fashion and the myth of male power. She takes viewer phone calls from all sides of the spectrum. This is a lively and stimulating discussion no matter what your political views are. Missing the first few minutes.

    I love Camille Paglia but I would like to complement the interviewer. How refreshing for an interviewer who keeps the focus on the guest instead of constantly trying to interject their ideas as is often done nowadays. She asked good questions when appropriate but always with an eye toward the ideas of the guest to be shown. Well done.

    That's exactly what the corporate media has lost. Watch some of the 1950's "Meet the Press" type interviews on KZread. The goal was to extract the ideas of the guest as accurately as possible through critical but unbiased questions.

    It's so refreshing to get to listen to a person holistically explain her complex worldview without constant interruptions by a journalist hell-bent on being the star of the show - as is the case now. Moreover, I think Camille brings up good points - which are still relevant today. People are hungry for appreciation and are sick of the almighty red pen.

    For anyone who wants to appreciate poetry but doesnt know how, the incomparable Camille Paglia has a fabulous new(ish) book called Break, Blow, Burn which introduces, to the average person, passion and appreciation for the poetic word and structure. I've never had the least interest in poetry, even tho I love to write, but the fabulous intelligence of Paglia has ignited a flame in me that I never knew existed. Her stunning insights into poetic form, words, language, cadence as well as her seemingly bottomless understanding of art history is breathtaking and the cherry on top is her incredibly passionate delivery. All of this makes me want to read more poetry. Every word that comes out of her mouth gets hold of me and I just feel an insatible desire to read and understand more.

    I have ridiculous amounts of respect for Camille Paglia. But she is just plain wrong on the issue of causes for homosexuality and "gay conversion" therapies. I do hope that in the nearly 20 years since this interview she has changed her mind based on all the new evidence that has become available. I have seen a couple interviews with her from the late 2000s and early 2010s, but none that brought up this issue again.

    Yet Camille is a lesbian. She's more pragmatic than dogmatic. She views absolutism with horror, so gay fundamentalism would be an obvious anathema to her. Anything dictatorial and totalitarian--regardless of the subject--will naturally be rejected by her philosophy of prima-Indivuduality. You can certainly disagree, but she's not inconsistent.

    The Beatles, really??? But the Spice Girls were *gone* from the scene two years after this segment was recorded. The Beatles are an enduring cultural miracle that will continue to revitalize culture for generations to come. The Spice Girls??? The Spice Girls was a *product* concocted by *men* for public consumption, and not much more. The Beatles was a self-generated organization created for the advancement of their own creativity. Lennon-McCarteny? Two men, famously competing against each other in the co-creation of music - yet famously committed to the absolute co-crediting of their individual creations to the *partnership.* Women are *never* observed doing this in nature. Being a "member of a team," "hanging together as group" creating new and revolutionary cultural forms - in the way that men do sometimes for decades - is not a female attribute. Now what? For men hanging together with the people you competed against was an evolutionary *necessity* - for women it was an evolutionary impediment. Men compete against men and produce greatness, women compete against women hardly at all, and reinforce cultural homogeneity when they do band togethger. A woman by herself, like Madonna, can rise to the stars - with a male backing band - but you never see four women banding together of their own accord and do the same. In homeopathy this is called the Apis miasma - the queen bee syndrome. There is some new science out there that shows strongly that men are *significantly* better able to set aside past adversity towards one another [fellow men] than women are able to set aside adversity with fellow women - the supposed 'peace makers.' Evolutionarily for men, being able to let 'bygones be bygones' was much more important than for women, and it shows in the real world. Feminists are going to have to face up to the facts that overcoming this evolutionary phenomena will be more difficult than simply forcing, coercing, or bribing men to act like women. The fatal flaw in Feminism is that it systematically fails to see the necessity in masculinity.
