Situated criticism: four postulates on the work of literary criticism on cotidianity

Abstract

This article consists of a series of guidelines aimed at rethinking our place of speech as literary critics in order to establish an attractive and effective dialogue with cotidianity. It is structured from an idea of “situated” literary criticism thought more than as a discipline, as a practice that allows activating sensitivities about what is established by creating other ways of imagining it. The main hypothesis states that professionals of literature must be thinked from four identities: that of writers, that of archivists, that of ethnographers and that of diffusers. From there, the productions of Josefina Ludmer, Regina Dalcastagnè, Sylvia Molloy and Víctor Vich are analyzed, paying attention to their operations around the hegemonic canon and their specific work methodologies.

Keywords:
Literary criticism; place of speech; contemporary literature
