Journal Article
Opponents, Audiences, Constituencies, and Community
1982
Overview
Issues in the contemporary \"politics of interpretation\" are reviewed, focusing on: (1) the circumstances of information & knowledge production; (2) the conception of audience currently accepted by producers; & (3) the special political role (if any) played by humanist intellectuals. The initially \"populist\" tendencies of French & US New Criticism in the 1950s & 1960s & their progressive narrowing within academic circles are discussed as indicators of current intellectual elitism. The division of literary from other textual analysis (& of literary from all other forms of representation) is also examined as a depoliticizing influence, citing the Marxist criticism of Fredric Jameson & Terry Eagleton as illustrative of the \"closed\" literary community. Finally, the restricting of audience among US critics is analyzed in relation to neoconservative ideologies (eg, promotion of free enterprise, reindustrialization, & the remystification of science). L. Whittemore.
