Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on the prominent phenomenon of post-criticism in the humanities inrecent years. The author argues that – contrary to the dominant tendencies to interpretpostcritique as a break with the critical tradition or even a threat to the mission of thehumanities – the critique project actually continues the very tradition, reacts to its crisisand the associated sense of exhaustion, as well as attempts to correct its course.
