On 31 January, the CPRG reading group discussed Rita Felski’s The Limits of Critique (University of Chicago Press, 2015), which explores the ‘suspicion’ of critique to call for different kinds of critical feelings.
Led by Karen Schaller (Senior Lecturer in Literature at UEA), this session got us thinking about whether, and how, creative-critical work can respond to this new mood of scholarship.
