	Critical theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first meaning of the term critical theory was that defined by Max Horkheimer of the Frankfurt School of social science in his 1937 essay Traditional and Critical Theory : critical theory is social theory oriented toward critiquing and changing society as a whole, in contrast to traditional theory oriented only to understanding or explaining it.
		Horkheimer wanted to distinguish critical theory as a radical, emancipatory form of Marxian theory both from the model of science put forward by logical positivism and from what he and his colleagues perceived as the covert positivism and authoritarianism of orthodox Marxism and Communism.
		Critical theory in literature and the humanities in general does not necessarily involve a normative dimension, whereas critical social theory does, either through criticizing society from some general theory of values, norms, or oughts, or through criticizing it in terms of its own espoused values.

	Critical Theory
		In the humanities and social sciences, critical theory is a general term for new theoretical developments (roughly since the 1960s) in a variety of fields, informed by structuralism, post-structuralism, deconstruction, Marxist theory, and several other areas of thought.
		Although many things classified and cited as being critical theory predate the 1960s, it was only in the 1960s that they began to become recognised as important to work in the humanities, particularly in the study of literature.
		Critical theory, in sociology and philosophy, is shorthand for critical theory of society or critical social theory, a label used by the Frankfurt School (i.e.

	Intertextuality (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Critical theory is less concerned with justifications for or against heteronormativity and more concerned with how it affects (negatively, in the eyes of many in the field) self-conception and self-expression (especially from stigmatized viewpoints).
		Critics of heteronormativity say that the existence of intersex, gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered people undermines any fundamental assumption that gender is naturally dichotomous.
		Critical theory looks at the mechanics of this process of privilege and marginalization, and often thinks about the possibility of political action against this process.

	Critical Terms
		A "work of art" is an object, structure, or concept that an artist, critic, or any person choosing to operate from within this aesthetic signification system chooses to evaluate or respond to according to the principles operating within the system, making the object, structure, or concept a subject of the aesthetic response.
		GYNOCRITICISM The Anglo-American feminist theory that women read and write differently than men because of their biological differences and the cultural construction of gender, and the critic is to define the differences located in biographical experiences and cultural ideologies the condition the behavior and modes of discourse open to women (Showalter).
		The work of art calls attention to itself as artificially constructed and claims itself to be a work of art and only a work of art þ without denying that art may have a function as social comment.

	Mise-en-scene (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Marxist critics argue that post-modernism is symptomatic of "late capitalism" and the decline of institutions, particularly the nation-state.
		Postmodern philosophers are often regarded as difficult to read, and the critical theory that has sprung up in the wake of postmodernism has often been ridiculed for its stilted syntax and attempts to combine polemical tone and a vast array of new coinages.
		The critics charge that the postmodern vision of a tolerant, pluralist society in which every political ideology is perceived to be as valid, or as redundant, as the other; may ultimately encourage individuals to lead lives of a rather disastrous apathetic quietism.

	Theory FAQ (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Theory explores this complexity, trying to figure out who we are, where we came from and where we might be going.
		As Adorno put it, theory is the corrective on the tendency of praxis to devolve into narrow-minded dogmatism, while praxis is the corrective on theory's tendency to sink into the trackless swamps of abstraction.
		Theory transmits the collective memory of all this, of the terrible price humanity has paid for industrialization and global accumulation, and continues to pay, all across the planet.

	Undergraduate Guide to Critical Theory
		The hardest part of understanding and working with critical theory is grasping and using the new vocabulary, but, as with all languages, the new vocabulary will empower you and enhance your exposition of already existing thoughts and ideas.
		Psychoanalytic criticism aims to show that literature is always structured by complex and contradictory human desires and power relations, not just by an ideal of formal unity.
		A strong psychic dynamism is at work in "Sonnet 37" caused primarily by a deep-seated split in the narrator's consciousness between his Ideal Self, which wishes to be independent of his sexual desires, and his Id, which insists on the fulfillment of the body's desires.

	Critical Theory: Susan Sontag
		A noted writer of novels, short fiction, and screenplays, Sontag is commonly regarded as a cultural and literary critic, although she is not a typical critic.
		The subjects that have most appealed to her are the marginal areas of art, which sketch in the boundaries of a culture and its perceptions: the "camp" sensibility, the pornographic imagination, illness as metaphor, and photography as an art form.
		Her most controversial work, the essay "Against Criticism," argues that interpretation is a vicious and cowardly form of translation--one in which the work of art is stripped of its sensuous life and reduced to a bare statement.

	Elaboration Theory Review
		These questions are substantive because instructional-design theory has been challenged in the past because of its behavioristic focus on external tasks and lack of attention to mental structures and the cognitive mediation of learning.
		According to this theory, in complex and ill-defined domains, a person generally cannot retrieve an intact schema from memory; instead, schemas combine or recombine in response to the requirements of each particular situation.
		Learners then "work" and solve problems within a current level of work model until a mastery level of performance is reached; they are graduated to the next level, which builds upon the prior level.

	Critical Theory and Political Possibilities — www.greenwood.com
		Description: Alway examines the works of Max Horkheimer, Theodor Adorno, Herbert Marcuse, and Jürgen Habermas to argue the relevance of Critical Theory to contemporary efforts to reconceptualize radical politics.
		Unpacking the complexities of the critical theorists' writings and outlining them in a straightforward manner, Alway identifies the assumptions about human actors and history that inform their analyses of contemporary conditions.
		Habermas's transposition of Critical Theory onto new foundations extricates it from the subject-object framework of the philosophy of consciousness, but also fundamentally alters accepted notions of radical politics.

	Lit Crit & Theory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Psychoanalytical critics interpret a literary work à la Freud, that is, in terms of unconscious fantasies and desires, fixations and complexes, displacement and repression.
		Freud's own relevance to "critical theory" was revived by Jacques Lacan's poststructuralist revision of psychoanalysis, in which the "self" (or ego)--trapped in the Symbolic of language--is forever fraught with a "gap" or incompleteness that is always striving--and failing--to (re-)achieve a wholeness with the original (and "Imaginary") state of unity perceived by the infant.
		For the formalist, the careful-thoughtful-and-well-informed reader judges the merits of the work as a finely-crafted aesthetic whole--considering, for instance, in a work of fiction, its use of plot, style, characterization, etc.; in a work of poetry, matters of prosody, diction, figurative language, et al.

		Regardless, these two works have held up as two of the most important and engaging works in philosophical thinking.

	Winslow Homer
		Thus, as Cooper points out, Homer's 1870s watercolors of farm children and bucolic courtships try to memorialize the halcyon days of the 185os; the children gazing raptly at the blue horizon in Three Boys on the Shore, their backs forming a shallow arch, are in a sense this lost America.
