  • Descrição: Can creative criticism in the Tagore-Blanchot sense even be said to have one, particularly when its fate now seems tied to the embattled, increasingly corporatized, and over-professionalized university of today?" Also in the first part, canonical critic Derek Attridge's "In Praise of Amateurism," aligned with the privileging of Roland Barthes's views and Joseph North's recent Literary Criticism: A Concise Political History throughout the book, assesses critical commentary, concluding that "instead of being driven by the need to say something ingenious and unprecedented, [it] would aim at an accurate reflection of the critic's experience." [...]Christopher Hilliard's "Leavis, Richards, and the Duplicators" is this part's mother lode. [...]factoring in Latin America- where there has been wide concern and writings about the divide in media access since the Good Neighbor Policy in the 1930s, and where the Argentine doyenne of letters read Tagore's Gitanjali in 1914- would have greatly enriched the positionings centered on peripheral contributions to areas where print culture does not have the visibility that abounds in the first world. Since amateurism and making criticism "scientific" continue to disambiguate each other, Majumdar and Vadde duly query: "Is such interdisciplinary study the privilege of a rarefied professionalism or an ambitious form of amateurism?"
