The World Under My Fingers: Personal Reflections on Braille
by Barbara PierceBraille: What Is It? What Does It Mean to the Blind?
Critical Practice
by Katherine BelseyWhat is poststructuralist theory, and what difference does it make to literary criticism? Where do we find the meaning of the text: in the author's head? in the reader's? Or do we, instead, make meaning in the practice of reading itself? If so, what part do our own values play in the process of interpretation? And what is the role of the text? Catherine Belsey considers these and other questions concerning the relations between human beings and language, readers and texts, writing and cultural politics. Critical Practice assumes no prior knowledge of poststructuralism, but guides the reader confidently through the maze of contemporary theory. The volume simply and lucidly explains the views of such key figures as Louis Althusser, Roland Barthes, Jacques Lacan and Jacques Derrida, and shows their theories at work in readings of familiar literary texts.
