Token Professionals and Master Critics: A Critique of Orthodoxy in Literary StudiesSUNY Press, 1994 M01 1 - 272 páginas This book addresses literary critics in mainstream institutions who, though they vastly outnumber their colleagues in more prestigious institutions, have little voice in the profession. It examines the structures through which the institution of literary criticism pressures its members to accept orthodoxy/heterodoxy as categories to describe their work, which in turn provokes theory wars. This opposition produces a method/ application dichotomy which renders members' pursuits scientistic. |
