The contributors assess the merits of the post critical turn while exploring a range of alternate methods and critical orientations. They look at how critique-based theory has shaped the development of the novel. They examine Donna Haraway's feminist epistemology and objectivity. Look at the positive outcomes of critique, highlight the difference between reading as method and critique as genre; And question critique's efficacy at attending to the affective dimensions of experience. In these and other essays this volume outlines the state of contemporary literary criticism and shows how this can be updated to include the intellectual and political challenges of the present. ER -
