Research on Jeffrey Hartman's Literary Criticism Thoughts
by Wang Feng
About This Novel
Jeffrey Hartman always adheres to the theoretical stance of conciliatory criticism and plays the role of a moderator. First, adjust between European philosophy and Anglo-American criticism, advocating that British and American criticism break away from the practical criticism paradigm to form a more speculative critical discourse; second, adjust between the Jewish biblical interpretation tradition and modern interpretive experience, and find an effective way out of the contemporary formalism debate from the unique interpretation model of midrash; third, , mediating between literature and criticism, advocating the literary nature and creativity of criticism, and expressing it in the form of essays; fourth, mediating between the dual identities of literary self and cultural self, connecting cultural issues such as the Holocaust, memory, and trauma with literary issues through testimony videos, and clarifying the responsibilities of the times that literary critics should bear. In this kind of conciliatory criticism, Hartmann gained a broader vision, and his critical thinking therefore has great potential for transcendence.
