Add to basketHardcover. 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.

Contact seller3-star sellerSoftcover. Condition: g+ to vg. First edition. Large quarto (11 1/2 x 8 1/4"). 114pp. Original printed wrappers. Lavishly illustrated with b/w photographic reproductions of movie stills, newspaper articles, with essays by the most prominent names in the field, this 1970 New Austrian Film catalogue documents Austria's cinematic n…ew wave. "Engaged in a bitter fight against the prevailing petit-bourgeois mindset of their fellow citizens, the New Austrian Film is also caught in a deadlock, a fight against its nation's very image, be it the postwar self-stylization as neutral Austria, Nazi Germany's first victim, or even the ironic self-perception as a leftover of "Kakania," Robert Musil's famous satirical moniker for the "k. und k." (Imperial and Royal) Austro-Hungarian dual monarchy. In an effort to break the illusions of the "official" Austria and its long avoidance of dealing with its fascist past, New Austrian Film is not only highly critical and counter-traditionalist (albeit using traditional genres) but it takes on the very mechanisms of spectatorial trust in cinema." (For more information, see: Robert von Dassanowsky and Oliver C. Speck's "New Austrian Film: The Non Exceptional Exception"). Minor shelf wear. Wrappers age-toned along edges. Text in German. Wrappers in overall good+, interior in very good condition.
