《批判的限度》【图书简介】
为何批评家必须揭开文学作品的神秘面纱，为之祛魅？他们为何坚信文字总在隐瞒某种真相，而自己的任务就是揭示未被言说或遭压抑之物？《批判的限度》是《文学之用》《现代性的性别》作者芮塔·菲尔斯基的代表力作，挑战文学研究领域的主导阐释模式——批判，从哲学、政治、文化等多个角度，探索批判的边界，揭示批判的盲点，引领读者深入思考批判的本质和意义，激发读者挖掘更具创造性与多样性的阅读、批判实践。
菲尔斯基将“批判”作为一种文类、一种思潮，通过追踪众多思想家、批评家的经典文论中共有的论证模式，为我们探究艺术作品与社会世界的关系提供了全新路径。菲尔斯基认为批判将诸多可能的阅读模式排除在外，且并不能确保会产出严谨或激进的思想。她提出，文学学者应尝试她所称的“后批判阅读”，无须再如侦探般在文本背后搜寻隐藏的原因或动机，而是要将自己置于文本之前，探索文本所蕴含的无限可能。本书中，菲尔斯基妙语连珠，以精妙的论证为读者亲身展现了优秀文学批评的魅力。

The Limits of Criticism [Book Introduction]
Why must the critic demystify and disenchantment literary works? Why do they believe that words are always hiding some truth, and that their task is to reveal what is unspoken or repressed? The Limits of Criticism is the representative work of Rita Filsky, the author of The Use of Literature and the Gender of Modernity, which challenges the dominant interpretative model in the field of literary research - criticism. From the perspectives of philosophy, politics, culture and other aspects, it explores the boundaries of criticism, reveals the blind spots of criticism, and leads readers to think deeply about the nature and significance of criticism. Inspire readers to explore more creative and diverse reading and critical practices.
Filsky regards "criticism" as a genre and a trend of thought. By tracing the common argumential mode of many thinkers and critics in classical literary theories, Filsky provides a new way for us to explore the relationship between artistic works and the social world. Filsky argues that criticism rules out many possible modes of reading and does not guarantee the production of rigorous or radical ideas. She suggests that literary scholars should experiment with what she calls "post-critical reading," no longer looking behind a text like a detective for hidden causes or motives, but rather putting themselves before the text and exploring the infinite possibilities it contains. In this book, Filsky is full of witty words, and shows the charm of excellent literary criticism for readers with exquisite arguments.
