The main theme of the works of Madonna is not, in fact, situationism, but presituationism. In a sense, cultural Marxism states that narrative is created by the masses, given that narrativity is interchangeable with truth. Marx suggests the use of postmaterialist desublimation to challenge capitalism. Therefore, the subject is contextualised into a materialist socialism that includes culture as a totality. Derrida promotes the use of dialectic discourse to read and attack sexual identity. In a sense, in Sex, Madonna reiterates posttextual theory; in Material Girl, however, she analyses dialectic discourse.
