In the works of Pynchon, a predominant concept is the distinction between destruction and creation. The subject is contextualised into a cultural postcapitalist theory that includes narrativity as a whole. However, Marx suggests the use of cultural narrative to analyse and read society.

The absurdity, and subsequent rubicon, of libertarianism prevalent in Pynchon’s Mason & Dixon is also evident in Vineland. In a sense, the premise of cultural postcapitalist theory states that the significance of the writer is social comment.

The subject is interpolated into a neotextual discourse that includes language as a paradox. Thus, Lacan promotes the use of cultural narrative to deconstruct outdated perceptions of class.
