Postcritique: Past Influences and Present Conjunctures

Résumé

This paper briefly surveys a history of reckoning with the limits of critique in cultural studies and sociology. It highlights affinities between the turn to postcritique in literary studies and the present generation of Frankfurt School thought, including a heightened attention to everyday life worlds and an interest in developing a more expansive affirmative vocabulary beyond existing theories of utopia. It then raises questions about the political effects of critique in contemporary culture and its potential to trigger counter-productive or unwanted results. In some contexts, it may be strategically wise to rein in the impulse to judge or condemn in the interests of fostering solidarity, empathy, and the building of cross-class coalitions.
