Conclusion: Toward a Post-Cold War Criticism; IndexIn this text, Tobin Siebers claims that modern criticism is a Cold War criticism. Postwar literary theory has absorbed the scepticism, suspicion and paranoia of the Cold War mentality, and it plays them out in debates about the divided self, linguistic indeterminacy, the metaphysics of presence, multiculturalism, canon formation, power, cultural literacy and the politics of literature. The major critical movements of the postwar age, Siebers argues, belong to three dominant phases of the Cold War era.Odeon.CriticismPolitical aspectsCold War in literaturePolitics and literatureCritical theorySkepticismCriticismPolitical aspects.Cold War in literature.Politics and literature.Critical theory.Skepticism.801/.95/09045Siebers Tobin845392MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910828193703321Cold War criticism and the politics of skepticism3952982UNINA
