Book ShelterComparison: Theories, Approaches, UsesThis Book of essays examines the complexities of comparison, particularly in the humanities and social sciences. The authors explore the inherent biases and power dynamics embedded in comparative methodologies, arguing that seemingly objective comparisons often reflect and reinforce existing inequalities. They challenge traditional approaches that prioritize Western perspectives, advocating for relational ontologies that acknowledge the researcher's own positionality. The essays analyze the uses and limitations of comparison across various disciplines, including literary studies, anthropology, and history, offering critiques of Eurocentrism and promoting more nuanced, ethical comparative practices. Ultimately, the text promotes a cautious, self-aware approach to comparison, recognizing its...2024-12-1522 min

Lars og PålEpisode 143 Kritiske randbemerkninger til kritisk pedagogikkI denne episoden snakker vi om en retning innenfor pedagogikken kalt kritisk pedagogikk, med kjente navn som Paolo Freire og Henri Girioux som noen av de viktigste teoretikerne. Vi er mildt sagt kritiske, for denne teoritradisjonen, som påstår å være kritisk til det etablerte, er så belemret med en språklig vaghet at den tilsynelatende ofte ikke klarer å forholde seg kritisk til egne teorier. Så hvorfor er det slik, hvorfor har vi denne tendensen til slik tungrodd og uklart språk innenfor et fagområde som pedagogikken, som kaller seg frigjørende og kritisk men som sjelden...2024-05-061h 10

Rita Felski, University of Virigina, author of The Limits of Critique and Hooked: Art and Attachment guides us through her actor-network-inspired theories and demonstrates how the key concepts of identification, empathy and attachment can illuminate our reading of Hanne Ørstavik’s novel Love.

Researchers' CardboxS01E07: Mate-Seeking, Book Reviews, Bus StopsFrom the fact that Jasmine’s book was oddly miscategorized on an online retailer’s website, we reflect upon how book reviews are an important component of scholarly communication, how, in fact—if one thinks about it—the field of literary study itself is, in a way, but a discipline consisting of the gathering together of multiform genres of book review. Still, how have algorithms, reader advisories, and our personal consumption habits as scholars shaped the trajectories of whole fields of study? Further, have large, processed data sets become the new tastemakers?[Soundscape: Eastern Market, Detroit. Closing music: "...2022-07-2022 min

What are we doing, exactly, rewatching the awesome movies of our childhoods, and why bother?
This introductory episode lays out the point of a project like this, which is mostly nerdy and nostalgic fun, a chance to spend time with people and movies we like. But it's an oddly worthwhile thing to be thoughtful about in our politically tumultuous times, when the prevailing feeling across the spectrum seems to be that "this is not who we are, or who we ought to be." The substance of that inkling is very different on the...2022-07-0155 min

Public IntellectualWhat Is Art Even For, with Rita FelskiMany of the odd social media arguments over the last couple years -- from Scorsese v Marvel to teach Harry Potter instead of Nathaniel Hawthorne -- can be understood as being actually about uncertainty about what art is for. Which is a new development of the age old "what makes art meaningful" conversation. Rita Felski, the author of Hooked: Art and Attachment, speaks to Jessa about some of these recent controversies, why it can be profoundly irritating to be told a film is great, and why we can't solve the problem of art.

John travelled to Odense, Denmark for a conference called “Love Etc.” (RTB is for it…) and fell into this conversation about empathy, identification and “uncritical reading” with the novelist Namwali Serpell and literary theorist Rita Felski. Hannah Arendt’s distrust of too much feeling, not enough thinking loomed large; so did Zadie Smith’s recent article in defense of empathy. The room was unexpectedly resonant–but so were Serpell and Felski’s insights.
