A movie about how women deserve or want to be beaten might follow an open dialectic to a repulsive , immoral conclusion . The Marxian dialectic is a historical method in still another sense : it deals with a particular stage of the historical process . We are here touching upon the origins of the Marxian dialectic . Responses such as fear of being judged , publicly denying homosexuality , and distancing and promoting individual freedom illustrate how the private / public dialectic unfolded as students confronted themselves and others . The totality that the Marxian dialectic gets to is the totality of class society , and the negativity that underlies its contradictions and shapes its every content is the negativity of class relations . What I look for in movies is an honest dialectic , a procedural requirement satisfied by At Play in the Fields of the Lord . It is of the very essence of the Marxian dialectic to imply that , with the transition from the pre-history represented by class society to the history of classless society , the entire structure of historical movement will change . I will say that I will do my best to keep an open mind for as long as possible while I watch a film which , instead of trying to dazzle me with stardust or baffle me with bullshit , has an honest dialectic . In addition to highlighting the role that religion played in shaping the spiritual identities of SNCC ’ s activist core and its mobilized constituency among Southern African-Americans , the paper will attempt to consider the religious / secular dialectic and tensions that emerged within SNCC over its spiritual identities . The historical character of the Marxian dialectic embraces the prevailing negativity as well as its negation .
