Paperback. Zustand: Gut. XVIII, 237 p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Einband berieben, Buchschnitt leicht angeschmutzt, sonst gut und sauber / binding rubbed, book edges slightly soiled, otherwise good and clean. - How are literary criticism and theory related to the institutions and practices of the university and to those of the larger culture within which they occur? Jonathan Cullers new book takes up these questions in a wide-ranging discussion of critics, cultural practices, and the politics of theory. His analyses of the history of American criticism, the status of history in critical debate, the role of religion in criticism and culture, and the future of literary study are directed toward a wide audience. Beginning with a substantial historical overview, Criticism in the American University, in which he takes a fresh look at institutional forces, Culler reflects on the future of literary studies in an age bemused by E. D. Hirschs cultural literacy. His discussion of the relation of literary theory to the numerous calls to history that are fashionable today addresses the possible forms that politically efficacious criticism may take. Drawing on Foucault, Culler argues for ad hoc resistance to those forces that have reactionary social effects, and takes up the case of criticisms contribution to the cultural respectability of religion, whose consequences he explores in a hard-hitting essay. Readers will find particularly useful Cullers comprehensive analysis of the work of Paul de Man a body of criticism crucial for contemporary critical debates that has never been presented with such clarity and understanding. In a further section of lively essays on the Law, Tourism, and Junk, Culler explores the usefulness of contemporary theory, particularly deconstruction and semiotics, to the analysis of social phenomena. In the final section of Framing the Sign he focuses on problems of language and context: in a critique of Habermass influential attempt to infer norms of language from communicative practice, Culler seeks to widen the context of debate; in an analysis of recent theories of narrative in fiction he exposes some dubious presuppositions about the literary context; and in a final speculative essay he asks how we may seek to construct a comprehensive linguistics of writing. Written with the clarity for which Culler is known, this book takes up the most crucial issues of todays critical and theoretical debates. / Contents Series Editors Foreword Authors Preface Acknowledgements Part I Institutions 1 Literary Criticism and the American University 2 The Humanities Tomorrow 3 The Call to History 4 Political Criticism: Confronting Religion Part: II Critics Reading 5 Empsons Complex Words 6 Bachelards Images De Mans Rhetoric Part III Reading Culture 8 Deconstruction and the Law 9 The Semiotics of Tourism 10 Rubbish Theory Part IV Framing Language 11 Habermas and Norms of Language 12 Problems in the Theory of Fiction 13 Towards a Linguistics of Writing Index.
