It is what we do when we face a work or event that bowls us over and makes us scramble for a response. As Michel Chaouli argues, criticism involves three moments: \u003ci\u003eSomething speaks to me. I must tell you about it. But I don't know how\u003c\/i\u003e. The heart of criticism, no matter its form, lies in these surges of thoughts and feelings. Criticism arises from the fundamental need to share what overwhelms us. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e We tend to associate criticism with scholarship and journalism. But Chaouli is not describing professional criticism, but what he calls \"poetic criticism\"--a staging ground for surprise, dread, delight, comprehension, and incomprehension. Written in the mode of a philosophical essay, \u003ci\u003eSomething Speaks to Me\u003c\/i\u003e draws on a wide range of writers, artists, and thinkers, from Kant and Schlegel to Merleau-Ponty, Bachelard, Barthes, and Cavell. Reflecting on these dimensions of poetic experience, \u003ci\u003eSomething Speaks to Me\u003c\/i\u003e is less concerned with joining academic debates than communicating the urgency of criticism.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.63 x 8.5 x 5.43 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 16, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47571616432349,"sku":"9780226830421","price":46.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/uLfoWaUd7G9780226830421.webp?v=1773377808","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/something-speaks-to-me-where-criticism-begins-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
