Reality, Postcritique, and Euro-American Modernization (An Introduction to the Debate) JF - Review of International American Studies JA - RIAS VL - 13 IS - 2 SE - VARIA DO - 10.31261/rias.10152 UR - https://www.journals.us.edu.pl/index.php/RIAS/article/view/10152 AB - The essay introduces major tenets in the current debate on postcritique, focusing especially on the widespread rejection of symptomatic reading in literary studies and on the rejection of rupture as both a modernist and theoretical model for the conception of the new. Further, it presents theory as a phase of Euro-American modernization. Finally, it outlines a wider, more dynamic concept of critique, understood as a movement of intellectual—and geographical—displacements. ER -
