Criticism is an urgent response to what moves us, igniting when we share our thoughts and feelings about a book, work, or event that deeply impacts us. It encompasses three essential moments: something speaks to us, prompting us to communicate our thoughts; however, we may struggle to find the right words. At its core, criticism lies in these surging waves of thoughts and emotions. While often associated with scholarship and journalism, Michel Chaouli's "poetic criticism" goes beyond the professional realm, serving as a platform for surprise, dread, delight, comprehension, and incomprehension. Written in the style of a philosophical essay, Something Speaks to Me draws from a diverse range of writers, artists, and thinkers, including Kant, Schlegel, Merleau-Ponty, Bachelard, Barthes, and Cavell. Rather than engaging in academic debates, this book aims to convey the urgency of criticism, emphasizing its role in shaping our understanding and appreciation of the world.
