Leicht vergilbt, sonst sehr guter Zustand / Slightly yellowed, otherwise in very good condition. - In the years since Vietnam, North American scholars who engage in professional criticism --interpreting texts and other cultural artifacts, questioning and formulating theoretical positions, and analyzing historical events-- have seen their authority in universities and in society at large increasingly undermined. The reasons, Jim Merod says, can be looked at: the retrenched but still uncertain status of the humanities in the contemporary university, the troubled state of intellectual exchange in a militarized economy, and the self-consciously marginal professional identity of the academic. In this penetrating and thought-provoking book, Merod examines the role of the literary critic in today's highly integrated but highly specialized consumer society, a society in which professional identities become more fragmented as bodies of expert knowledge grow more widely divergent.
