Inhaltsangabe

This is an analysis of the debate in literary and cultural studies between those who want interpretive work to influence political issues and those who fear that this would destroy the essence of literary criticism. It argues that movements such as the new historicism, gender studies or cultural studies can change the objects of their attention, change their vocabularies, change the scope of their claims and change their very names, however nothing they do will bring them into closer contact with the larger structures they would transform.
