47.
Ibid.,
pages 13–14. In another celebrated essay, ‘Notes on Camp’, published in the same year, 1964, in
The New York Review of Books,
Susan Sontag addressed a certain sensibility which, she said, was wholly aesthetic, in contrast to high culture, which was basically moralistic (Sontag,
Op. cit.,
page 287). ‘It incarnates a victory of “style” over “content”, “aesthetics” over “morality”, of irony over tragedy.’ It was not the same as homosexual taste, she said, but there was an overlap. ‘The experiences of Camp are based on the great discovery that the sensibility of high culture has no monopoly on refinement. Camp asserts that good taste is not simply good taste; that there exists, indeed, a good taste of bad taste.’
(Ibid.,
page 291.) This too would form an ingredient of the postmodern sensibility.
