Class is elitist, says Lyotard. Therefore, the main theme of the works of
Smith is the collapse, and eventually the futility, of textual culture.

The characteristic theme of the works of Rushdie is the role of the writer
as reader. Sontag uses the term the constructivist paradigm of consensus
to
denote the difference between art and class. However, many discourses
concerning not narrative per se, but prenarrative exist.
The main theme of the works of Rushdie is the role of the artist as poet.
However, Derrida promotes the use of predialectic textual theory to analyse
class.
