{"product_id":"an-ethics-of-reading-von-kathleen-kremins","title":"An Ethics of Reading","description":"\u003cp\u003eContemporary, postcolonial fiction demands an ethics  of reading. An ethical reading involves more than  the narrow reading permitted by the critics who  espouse a politics of identity. To read ethically  means to consider a variety of divergent  perspectives as the reader engages with, and often  wrestles with, the text. Reading ethically  challenges the reader to make reading an act of  resistance. Therefore, because of such demands,  traditional literary criticism can be too confining.  In studying Morrison, El Saadawi and Roy, and  reading them ethically, Dr. Kathleen Kremins  proposes a fresh and innovative perspective on  literary criticism and theory. By relying on art and  film critics, cultural, political and social critics  as well as literary critics who have rejected the  analytical traditions of the last thirty years, Dr.  Kremins argues that an ethical reading cannot exist  in isolation; for a reading to be ethical, the text  must be informed by and engaged with other texts, as  well as history and other art forms. Unlike Terry  Eagleton who claims that literary theory is dead,  Kremins asserts that literary theory must be re- visioned for a new century and world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838357553\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Broken Beauties of Toni Morrison, Nawal El Saadawi, and Arundhati Roy\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838357553","offer_id":39499085840477,"sku":"9783838357553","price":68.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/179942fd-2f33-49e5-84fe-b06d5e8accf0.jpg?v=1757655805","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/an-ethics-of-reading-von-kathleen-kremins","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
