Description

Critique and Postcritique by Elizabeth S. Anker and Rita Felski is a collection of essays that explore the current state of literary criticism and its future directions. The contributors to this volume engage in a lively debate about the functions and limitations of critique, examining topics such as the distinction between surface and deep reading, the role of feminist epistemology, and the efficacy of critique in addressing affective dimensions of experience. They also explore alternative methods and critical orientations, highlighting new ways of conducting scholarship that are better suited to the intellectual and political challenges of the present. Through a range of perspectives and approaches, Critique and Postcritique offers insights into the current landscape of literary criticism and points towards potential new paths for scholarship.
