These frameworks include deconstruction, Marxism, and feminisms, alongside reflections on the role of philosophy. One key focus of her reflection is the concept of strategic essentialism in understanding social movements, diverging from her …
Live Free or Describe
This article returns to the question "what is it to read?" through two texts: Louis Althusser's Reading Capital (1965) and The Way We Read Now, a special issue of Representations (2009). Rooney analyzes the issue's introduction, Sharon Marcus's and Stephen Best's "Surface Reading," examining its accounts of description and "minimal critical agency" and its skepticism concerning radical freedom and the interpretative heroics of literary analysis f…
The Cambridge Companion to Feminist Literary Theory
Feminism has dramatically influenced the way literary texts are read, taught and evaluated. Feminist literary theory has deliberately transgressed traditional boundaries between literature, philosophy and the social sciences in order to understand how gender has been constructed and represented through language. This lively and thought-provoking Companion presents a range of approaches to the field. Some of the essays demonstrate feminist critica…

Who's Left out? A Rose by Any Other Name Is Still Red; Or, the Politics of Pluralism
Criticism and the Subject of Sexual Violence
textual sign of sexual violence is often no more than a long passage of mourning. Discourse withdraws from the scene of the violent encounter to grieve or to ponder questions in philosophy or ethics, as if sexual violence could only occur in a void where darkness and silence ruled everywhere around, as if the actors must lose their voices. Thus, Hardy's narrator demands to know why and mocks the angels and gods who abandon Tess in Chase. But in t…
Critical Understanding
Critics will always disagree, but, maintains Wayne Booth, their disagreement need not result in critical chaos. In Critical Understanding, Booth argues for a reasoned pluralism-a criticism more various and resourceful than can be caught in any one critic's net. He relates three noted pluralists-Ronald Crane, Kenneth Burke, and M. H. Abrams-to various currently popular critical approaches. Throughout, Booth tests the abstractions of metacriticism …
