The terror of theory
The terror of theory

Summary/Abstract: Europe is haunted - frequented by the ghost of terrorism. The Red Brigades and the dictators standing at the rostrum, admittedly, are not of identical meaning, so in considering this matter we are dealing with an unavoidable »dis-similarity «. Nevertheless, this phenomena is today a part of the same climate of the exclusive and absolutistic that obtrudes and acts upon the practice of social choices and the practice of judgement forming discourses. We who are present here, in this assembly-hall, are momentarily interested in criticism, and the terrorism to which we are exposed in respect to criticism, is the terrorism of literary theory. Let us consider how it is reflected in our everyday life - in the quotidian culture that we are living.
