Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. "The Institution of Criticism" is a collection of critical essays by Professor Peter Uwe Hohendahl. The book was translated from the German by Henry Schmidt, et al, and concerns the nature and purpose of literary criticism, with especial emphasis on the writers and literature of Germany From the book's Introduction : "The recognition that a literary text is embedded in a historical context that can be defined in cultural, political, and social terms has been common knowledge for some time. This insight, however has not been fully appreciated in the examination of various forms of literary criticism -- scholarly books and articles, journalistic essays, book reviews in newspapers, and the like. Yet studies that deal with literary works in one way or another should also be recognized as literary texts and should be seen against their own background." CONTENTS : ** Literary Criticism and the Public Sphere ** Art Evaluation and Reportage: The Aesthetic Theory of the Later Heine. ** The End of an Institution? The Debate over the Function of Literary Criticism in the 1960s ** The Task of Contemporary Literary Criticism ** Promoters, Consumers, and Critics: On the Reception of the Best-Seller ** Prolegomena to a History of Literary Criticism ** Critical Theory, Public Sphere, and Culture: Jürgen Habermas and his Critics.

Paperback. Condition: New. "An important book at a time when the booming illicit trade in African antiquities and the despoiling of some of the continent's prime archeological sites generate little concern in the art world." -Foreign Affairs "This benchmark publication challenges all of us to be part of the solution. Plundering Africa's Past cannot help but raise the level of discourse and consciousness about the looting problem, what needs to be done to stop it and about the relationship between Africa and the West." -African Studies Review "Plundering Africa's Past should be required reading for all archaeologists, historians, art historians, museum curators, and government officials involved in the cultural heritages of Africa, as well as most countries and continents with a disappearing past." -H-Net Book Review African government and museum officials, members of international agencies, academics, and journalists examine why the African past is disappearing at a rate perhaps unmatched in any other part of the world. Each looks at the international network of looting and trafficking from a different perspective. Here, for the first time, is a frank indictment of African contributions to the problem-voiced by the distinguished African essayists. The book concludes with a discussion of specific steps that could halt the disappearance of Africa's art and antiquities.…
