In this reading, the critique-minded critic is the psychoanalyst “treating the text as a patient”; the psycholinguist unraveling its “contradictions, slippages, elisions”; the Foucauldian forensic detective of knowledge/power entanglements; the Marxist curator of “fragments of social totalities” which are corrupted by these very totalities. The editors use “critique” and “theory” interchangeably, positing each as enervated by its own reactive, hypervigilant, and codic critical stances.
