| I have put 'catalogue' in inverted commas, because although the Behlings claim it to be nothing more, its quality, in terms of image and the pedigree of its contributors make it more like an exhibition in its own right. The norm's use of inverted commas round these two words indicates that the Vatican authors deny them to be genuine correction or improvement. To these we can add a fifth, and the smirking irony of inverted commas suits this last "Genet" especially well: this is Genet the act, the getup, the mannerism, the Genet beloved of American adolescents of all ages who yearn to "transgress" traditional values, even though at this point the very word "transgression" has become almost the imprimatur of enlightened-bourgeois false consciousness. |
