The five chapters work equally well as standalone experiments or in the service of Ted Underwood’s overarching argument that DH reconfigures our understanding of literary history. It’s a clear must read for anyone working in literary DH (especially text mining) or in literary history more generally, and when it is inevitably added to dozens of syllabi, both students and teachers will find a lot to admire. Yet the most profound achievement of the book is its demonstration of a genuinely new kind of literary critical knowledge. This is not quite how Underwood casts it, though. He focuses on two methodological interventions made possible by the DH approach. First, there is the familiar issue of scale— the capacity of DH to tackle thousands of texts spread across centuries of production. Underwood argues that this new scale of attention fundamentally changes our understanding of literary history, writing that “we have narrated literary history as a sequence of discrete movements and periods because chunks of that size are about as much of the past as a single person could remember and discuss at one time” (ix). The digital approach, he says, enables us to consider changes that are too long term, slow moving, or widely dispersed to have been visible ON NOT ALREADY KNOWING J. D.

Although her 1970 text Sexual Politics was part of the breakdown of New Criticism's hegemony in US English departments, Millett's early readers primarily understood it as a work of social criticism linked to the emerging second-wave feminist movement. When critics did attend to Millett's use of literature, many found it scarcely literary criticism at all because it defied every tenet of then-dominant New Criticism. Others judged Millett's de-aestheticizing method as \"bad\" literary criticism for its attention to politics over artistic construction, especially as New Criticism's influence waned and her resistance to New Criticism became less obvious at the text's central struggle. As such, we have not fully appreciated Millett's anticipation of cultural studies, nor her influence on contemporary modes of reading. Feminist literary criticism appears as a political intervention into an ongoing enterprise rather than as a foundational driver of changes in modes of interpretation. Here, I contextualize Millett's method in the transitional moment when New Criticism lost its grip on US literary studies and reassess feminist literary criticism's influence on how we read in the present. This reconsideration matters now more than ever as we witness the resurgence of de-aestheticizing methods within yet another transitional moment in the history of criticism.","PeriodicalId":42834,"journal":{"name":"FILM CRITICISM","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88058955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ISSN 0011-1589. doi: 10.13110/criticism.63.4.0441 © 2021 by Wayne State University Press, Detroit, Michigan 48201-1309 Social theory in and of itself can be a daunting scholarly enterprise— not least when framed within and through critical positionalities. While intersectionality at first glance may seem to be a relatively approachable social theory, especially given its increasing popularity in scholarly and popular modalities, it has proven to be substantively rich, complex, and consequential. In Intersectionality as Critical Social Theory, Patricia Hill Collins, preeminent scholar of intersectionality, takes on the ambitious project of positioning intersectionality as a critical social theory and illuminating the productive possibilities for intersectionality both epistemologically and methodologically, especially as a social justice project. By positioning intersectionality, Collins simultaneously contextualizes critical social theory and charts critical social theory’s potential for scholars invested in activism and social justice who might otherwise be located in fields that self-identify and/or are identified as critical. Collins politically situates and consequently politicizes intersectionality. Rather than catering to the academy’s impetus to privilege so-called objective knowledge, Collins argues that critical social theory and concurrently intersectionality can only be critical insofar as their ethical commitments to social justice.
