asemantic

I might suggest that the work of Goldsmith demonstrates the degree to which the most conventional conversation already offers us, readymade, a radical grammar, as asyntactic and as asemantic as any literature by the avant-garde itself — and as a result, Goldsmith has said that he can no longer listen to dialogue in films, plays, or poems, because it sounds completely artificial in the wake of such analysis.

Since the avant-garde relies upon subversive strategies of asyntactic, if not asemantic, expression, such writing often seems to resemble the nonsense produced by either the unskilled or the illiterate, camouflaging itself in the lousy style of the ingénue in order to showcase the creative potential of a technique that less liberal critics might otherwise dismiss as a fatal error — a flaw that, at the outset, discounts the work from any further reading because it has already forfeited the values of both official grammar and sensible meaning.

The socially or individually idiosyncratic association of words and phrases on an aggressive, and often aggressively trivial, asemantic basis is so certainly a, if not the, main source of any sort of dynamism that pertains to the ludic, and what perhaps derives from the ludic (that what has often been conceived as the opposite of the ludic) -- this is so certainly the case as to release me of my obligation to finish the sentence directly.
