Theory saturation makes any separatist stance itself another named theory

Evidence

To put it this way is to realize that criticism and theory confront an utterly different situation in the United States today. When the proliferation of what I may call “named” theories is so intense, both in their rhythm and their number, as to saturate the cultural and intellectual atmosphere incomparably, and to render the New Critical separatism of the “intrinsic” meaningless, such separatism, however conceived, then simply becomes another named theory. — Fredric Jameson, Postmodernism, or, The Cultural Logic…, 425
