Reaganism in Literary Theory

Negative Moralism and Hermeneutic Suspicion

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Largely erased from disciplinary memory, Paul de Man's replacement of canon with literariness as the object of literary studies preserved a discourse of devotion and disqualification homologous with Reaganism. This negative moralism shelters professional privilege and competition from scrutiny, supported by misrecognitions like hermeneutic suspicion, materiality, and identity politics.
