The Galactus Affair: Criticism in the Literary Multiverse

Author(s): Márió Nemes Z.
Subject(s): Studies of Literature, Theory of Literature
Published by: Korunk Baráti Társaság
Keywords: canon; criticism; implicit knowledge; mediality; podcast

Summary/Abstract: The author develops a fictional model of the literary field where criticism is absent, and all canonical developments are based on the functioning of a ‘Canon Machine’, that works as a schizoid generator of literary hierarchies, a multiverse of literary facts. The fictional model is useful to identify some aspects of the current literary scene, resulting not only from the mediality of discourses, but also from the specific power structures that generate implicit cultural knowledge.
