Abstract
“The Intensive Zone” takes a glance at trends in (American) literary studies that posit the critical against the amateurish or uncritical. It sees present contemporary movements in literary scholarship such as Postcritique and Autotheory as representations of literary critics wanting to move past the oppositional distinctions made between the critical and uncritical. These are, in other words, the latest in a whole history of critical movements that come from a desire on the part of critics to cultivate their style. Reimagining the critic as a stylist allows us to move past the distinctions forged between the scholarly and the popular or the critic and the amateur. Style comes from the inevitable attunement of literary studies wherein criticism encompasses the serious and unserious; highbrow and low; the popular and the scholarly.
