Contingencies Of Value by Barbara Smith
Alternative Perspectives for Critical Theory
This insightful work delves into the intricate dynamics of value in the realm of literary criticism, challenging traditional notions of aesthetic judgment and cultural worth. It explores how value is not an inherent quality but rather a contingent construct shaped by social, historical, and institutional forces. Through a critical examination of various theoretical frameworks, the text underscores the fluidity and subjectivity of value, urging readers to reconsider the criteria by which art and literature are evaluated and appreciated.
