Frases de Camille Paglia
página 11

Camille Anna Paglia é uma acadêmica, ensaísta, crítica de arte e crítica social americana.

Paglia é uma intelectual de contradições apenas aparentes: uma ateísta que respeita a religião e uma classicista que defende tanto a arte elitista quanto a popular com uma visão de que o ser humano tem uma natureza irresistivelmente dionisíaca, em especial no aspecto mais selvagem e obscuro da sexualidade humana.

A intelectual apresenta uma gama variada de assuntos sobre o qual escreve: religião comparada, história da arte e o cânon literário, além de uma grande ênfase no ensino da história. Paglia tornou-se célebre para o público mundial em 1990 ao publicar o primeiro livro Sexual Personae: Art and Decadence from Nefertiti to Emily Dickinson. O sucesso com este livro possibilitou a autoria de outros títulos sobre cultura popular e feminismo. Exibindo grande erudição, gerou muita polêmica ao desafiar o que ela própria denominou de "elite liberal", incluindo acadêmicos, grupos feministas tais como as National Organization for Women e grupos ativistas na luta contra a AIDS, tais como o ACT UP.

Camille Paglia é Ph.D em língua inglesa pela Universidade de Yale. É considerada uma das principais críticas do feminismo, especialmente o "puritano e stalinista". É professora no Philadelphia College of the Performing Arts.

Camille Paglia Frases famosas

“A veneração dos egípcios pelos gatos não era nem tola nem infantil. Por meio do gato, o Egito definiu e refinou sua complexa estética.”

"Personas Sexuais" - Camille Paglia pg. 70/72 http://www.fezocaonline.com/mistygray/gatos.html

“O discurso anti-pornografia das feministas sempre ignora a gigantesca indústria do pornô gay masculino, já que qualquer menção a isso derrubaria completamente o argumento absurdo de que a pornografia é por definição, a subordinação da mulher.”

"Feminist anti-porn discourse virtually always ignore the gigantic gay male porn industry, since any mention of the latter would bring crashing to the ground the absurd argument that pornography is by definition the subordination of women."

“Because boys lack a biological marker like menstruation, to be man is to be not female.”

Contemporary feminism called this "misogyny," but it was wrong. Masculine identity is embattled and fragile. In the absence of opportunity for heroic physical action, as in the modern office world, women's goodwill is crucial for preserving the male ego, which requires, alas, daily maintenance. It is in the best interests of the human race, and of women themselves, for men to be strong.
Fonte: Vamps and Tramps (1994), "No Law in the Arena: A Pagan Theory of Sexuality", p. 85

“Films of the mating behavior of most other species — a staple of public television of America — demonstrate that the female chooses.”

Males pursue, show off, brawl, scuffle, and make general fools of themselves for love. A major failing of most feminist ideology is its dumb, ungenerous stereotyping of men as tyrants and abusers, when in fact — as I know full well from my own mortifying lesbian experience — men are tormented by women’s flirtatiousness and hemming and hawing, their manipulations and changeableness, their humiliating rejections. Cock teasing is a universal reality. It is part of women’s merciless testing and cold-eyed comparison shopping for potential mates. Men will do anything to win the favor of women.

“Foucault is the Cagliostro of our time.”

“When in doubt, I read Oscar Wilde.”

“Feminism was always wrong to pretend that women could “have it all.””

It is not male society but mother nature who lays the heaviest burden on woman. No husband or day care can adequately substitute for a mother’s attention. My feminist heroes are the boldly independent and childless Amelia Earhart and Katherine Hepburn, who has been outspoken in her opposition to the delusion of “having it all.”

“Everything great in western culture has come from the quarrel with nature.”
