{"title":"Reading Against Polemic: Disciplinary Histories, Critical Futures","authors":"Doug Battersby","doi":"10.1093/camqtly/bfz033","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/camqtly/bfz033","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:This article argues that the self-consciously polemical tenor of recent conversations about critical method has hindered efforts to change or diversify our repertoire of approaches. It suggests that advocates of surface reading, postcritique, the New Formalism, and other innovative approaches should refocus their efforts away from packaged polemics and towards exemplary readings that demonstrate their novelty and value—a recommendation justified by the subsequent examination of previous movements which succeeded in transforming the discipline. The article speaks to the field's would-be innovators, but also readers searching for more discriminating criteria for appraising the validity, efficacy, and value of recent claims to critical innovation.","PeriodicalId":374258,"journal":{"name":"The Cambridge Quarterly","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128722012","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Scott","doi":"10.1093/camqtly/bfz024","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/camqtly/bfz024","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:This essay explores the way sport and art as expressions of human confrontation with violence have been re-enacted in Europe through the representation of boxing. Tracing visual representation of boxing from Greek antiquity to today, it focuses on the way the dynamics of pugilism both informed and were reflected in modernist avant-garde movements such as Futurism. Like painting and sculpture, the boxing ring is susceptible to analysis in purely abstract terms – forces, space, dynamic interaction – a formal schematisation that tells us as much – if not more – about the potential of the human body in its environment as more conventional forms of visual representation.","PeriodicalId":374258,"journal":{"name":"The Cambridge Quarterly","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114875037","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Radio, television, the internet, and newspapers are seemingly instantaneously available and filled with news, both good and bad. We may sometimes think that the events we learn about in this day and age are so distant and different from those happenings in what might be characterized as having taken place in “the good old days.” In earlier periods of our country, and of our county’s history, there couldn’t have been the crime and violence that we are so frequently reminded of today. Life moved at a slower pace, people were more respectful, violent crime didn’t happen around here.
