Literary Judgement and the Fora of Criticism
0 - Default Title
Description
Literary judgement is the starting point for the evaluation, selection and even canonization of a literary work. In the 18th century, educated citizens exchanged ideas, formed public opinion, and promoted common narratives in debates about literature. Today, criticism is shaped in many diverse public spheres and sub-spheres, operating in an economy regulated by attention and in a globalized book market. What does this mean for the roles of critic, author, and reader? 'Literary Judgement and the Fora of Criticism' addresses questions relating to the forms, functions, and significance of literary judgement; the conditions and consequences for criticism in the current media landscape; the medialization of criticism as review and its rhetorical and generic effects; the ascription and dissemination of literary value for a growing but diverse global readership; the implications and consequences for writer, critic, and reader of the digitization of criticism. With contributions by: Phillipa Chong, James English, Florencia Garramuño, Richard Jacquemond, Mats Jansson, Christopher Odhiambo Joseph, Rebecka Kärde, Daniel Kehlmann, Zóltan Kulcsár-Szabó, Camille Laurens, Mark McGurl, Ronya Othmann, Sandra Richter, Lionel Ruffel, Gisèle Sapiro, Zeruya Shalev, Galin Tihanov, Juan Gabriel Vásquez, Magnus William-Olsson and Xu Xi.
