Why do they believe that language is always withholding some truth, that the critic's task is to reveal the unsaid or repressed? In this book, Rita Felski examines critique, the dominant form of interpretation in literary studies, and situates it as but one method among many, a method with strong allure--but also definite limits. Felski argues that critique is a sensibility best captured by Paul Ricoeur's phrase 'the hermeneutics of suspicion.' She shows how this suspicion toward texts forecloses many potential readings while providing no guarantee of rigorous or radical thought. Instead, she suggests, literary scholars should try what she calls 'postcritical reading': rather than looking behind a text for hidden causes and motives, literary scholars should place themselves in front of it and reflect on what it suggests and makes possible. By bringing critique down to earth and exploring new modes of interpretation, The Limits of Critique offers a fresh approach to the relationship between artistic works and the social world. 000785389 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000785389 650_0 $$aCriticism. 000785389 650_0 $$aCriticism$$xMethodology. 000785389 650_0 $$aHermeneutics. 000785389 650_0 $$aSuspicion. 000785389 655_0 $$aElectronic books 000785389 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aFelski, Rita, 1956-$$tLimits of critique.$$dChicago ; London : The University of Chicago Press, [2015]$$z9780226293981$$z9780226294032$$w(DLC) 2015010763$$w(OCoLC)902656914 000785389 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000785389 8520_ $$bcoll 000785389 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=4416681$$zOnline Access 000785389 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:785389$$pGLOBAL_SET 000785389 980__ $$aEBOOK 000785389 980__ $$aBIB 000785389 982__ $$aEbook$$aEbook 000785389 983__ $$aOnline
