Literary Critical Theory:
Interpretive Strategies
1. Historicism considers the literary work in light of "what really happened" during the period reflected in that work. It insists that to understand a piece, we need to understand the author's biography and social background, ideas circulating at the time, and the cultural milieu. Historicism also "finds significance in the ways a particular work resembles or differs from other works of its period and/or genre," and therefore may involve source studies. It may also include examination of philology and linguistics. It is typically a discipline involving impressively extensive research.
2. New Criticism examines the relationships between a text's ideas and its form, "the connection between what a text says and the way it's said." New Critics/Formalists "may find tension, irony, or paradox in this relation, but they usually resolve it into unity and coherence of meaning." New Critics look for patterns of sound, imagery, narrative structure, point of view, and other techniques discernible on close reading of "the work itself." They insist that the meaning of a text should not be confused with the author's intentions nor the text's affective dimension--its effects on the reader. The objective determination as to "how a piece works" can be found through close focus and analysis, rather than through extraneous and erudite special knowledge.
3. Archetypal criticism "traces cultural and psychological 'myths' that shape the meaning of texts." It argues that "certain literary archetypes determine the structure and function of individual literary works," and therefore that literature imitates not the world but rather the "total dream of humankind." Archetypes (recurring images or symbols, patterns, universal experiences) may include motifs such as the quest or the heavenly ascent, symbols such as the apple or snake, or images such as crucifixion--all laden with meaning already when employed in a particular work.
4. Psychoanalytic criticism adopts the methods of "reading" employed by Freud and later theorists to interpret what a text really indicates. It argues that "unresolved and sometimes unconscious ambivalences in the author's own life may lead to a disunified literary work," and that the literary work is a manifestation of the author's own neuroses. Psychoanalytic critics focus on apparent dilemmas and conflicts in a work and "attempt to read an author's own family life and traumas into the actions of their characters," realizing that the psychological material will be expressed indirectly, encoded (similar to dreams) through principles such as "condensation," "displacement," and "symbolism."

thGAP - Transgenic Human Germline Alternatives Project, presents an evening of input lectures, discussions and a performative workshop on artistic interventions for future scenarios of human genetic and inheritable modifications.
To begin our lecturers, Marc Dusseiller aka "dusjagr" and Rodrigo Martin Iglesias, will give an overview of their transdisciplinary practices, including the history of hackteria, a global network for sharing knowledge to involve artists in hands-on and Do-It-With-Others (DIWO) working with the lifesciences, and reflections on future scenarios from the 8-bit computer games of the 80ies to current real-world endeavous of genetically modifiying the human species.
We will then follow up with discussions and hands-on experiments on working with embryos, ovums, gametes, genetic materials from code to slime, in a creative and playful workshop setup, where all paticipant can collaborate on artistic interventions into the germline of a post-human future.

2. Learning Outcome
at the end of this session
Students will be able to understand
the concept of new historicism and
the differences between new
historicism and old historicism.
3. New Historicism
• Term coined by American critic Stephen Greenblatt
• Book “Renaissance Self Fashioning: From More to
Shakespeare” (1980)
• Influence of theory of Mitchell Foucault
• Challenged conservative critical ideas about
Jacobean plays
• Linked the plays with political events of that era
• Basic idea read history with literary text
4. Definition
• “it is a method based on the parallel reading of
literary and non-literary texts usually of the
same historical period.”
• “a combined interest in the ‘textuality of
history’ and ‘historicity of text’- Louis
Montrose
5. New Historicism
• A reaction to text only approach of Formalist New
Critics
• Refuses to privilege the literary texts
• Instead of literary ‘foreground’ and historical
‘background’
• Literary and non literary texts are given equal weight
• Constantly informing and interrogating each other
6. Features of New Historicism
• It places the literary text within the frame of non
literary text’
• Historical documents are not subordinated as
‘contexts’ but called and treated as ‘co-texts’
• The text and the co-text are seen as expressions of
same historical moments.
• ‘Equal Weight’ to literary and non literary texts
• It is an approach to literature in which there is no
privileging of the literary
7. Differences between New
Historicism and Old historicism
• New historicism involves the parallel study of
literary and non-literary texts. The word
parallel encapsulates the essential difference
• Equal weighting to literary and non-literary
material is the most important difference
between New Historicism and Old
Historicism.
8. Differences between New
Historicism and Old historicism
• Another important difference between old and
new historicism is in the word ‘archival’ in the
phrase ‘archival continuum’ indicates new
historicism is really a historical movement.
• It is interested in history as represented and
recorded in written documents in ‘History as
Text.’
9. Basic Concept of New Historicism
• The basic concept of new historicism is that in literary studies
the actual thoughts, feelings, or intentions of a writer can never
be covered or reconstructed.
• So the real living individual is now entirely superseded by the
literary text
• The world of the past was replaced by the words of the past.
• Textual record of the past
• New historicism accepts Derrida’s views ‘nothing outside of
text’
10. What historicist do?
• They juxtapose literary and non-literary texts, reading the
literature in the light of history
• They defamilarize the canonical literary text detach it with
from the accumulated weight of previous literary scholarships
• They focus attention (within both co-text and text) on issues of
state power and how it is maintained, on patriarchal structures
and on the process of colonization, etc.
• They use aspects of post structuralist outlook especially
Derrida’s notion that every facet of reality is textualized
11. Advantages and Disadvantages of
New Historicism
• Although it is founded upon post-structuralist thinking but it is
written in a far more accessible way and avoids post
structuralism’s dense style and vocabulary.
• The material itself is most fascinating than context of literary
studies
• It avoids the problems frequently encountered in “straight
Marxist Criticism”
• It seems less overtly polemical and more willing to allow the
historical evidence its own voice.
