About 1970 the New Critiscm came under attack by reader-response critics (who believe that the meaning of a work is not inherent in its internal form but rather is cooperatively produced by the reader and the text) and poststructuralists (who, following the philosophy of Jacques Derrida, argue that texts are inevitably self-contradictory and that we can find form in them only by ignoring or suppressing conflicting details or elements). -What is the New Historicism?

I'm beginning to feel as though I'm in a Tom Stoppard play, minus the insane characters and overarching sense of absurdist humor.


Also, I can hear bands setting up and playing bits in preparation for Quadstock, all the way across campus. The distance-distorted music reminds me of Folklife, and the harmony in dissonance that always happens in my ears there. In a week, I say--less than a week!
