  • More about Literary Critique, Modernism and the Transformation of Theory

Literary Critique, Modernism, and the Transformation of Theory explore non-linear temporalities and trajectories of theory, highlighting Italian Theory as a more inclusive and less combative approach. It recovers the ethical underpinnings of critique, emphasizing indocility, receptiveness, openness to transformation, awareness of relationality, attention to language, attunement to the body, distance, displacement, externality, and wonder.

Literary Critique, Modernism and the Transformation of Theory explores the non-linear temporalities and trajectories through which theory operates. Italian Theory serves as the fulcrum of a more inclusive and less combative notion of critique. This living thought cuts across the translation of European thought into Anglo-American theory and carries with it lingering modernist motifs linked to feminist and psychoanalytic criticism. While connecting to the post-critique debate, the study focuses on recovering the ethical underpinnings of critique. Mena Mitrano demonstrates that before being a specific method or disciplinary practice, critique is a stance towards others, including indocility, receptiveness, openness to transformation, awareness of relationality, attention to language, attunement to the body, distance, displacement, externality, and wonder.
