Syofyan, Donny. "Literary Criticism In The Post-Truth Era." Andalas International Journal of Socio-Humanities 1, no. 1 (June 27, 2019): 25–36. http://dx.doi.org/10.25077/aijosh.1.1.25-36.2019.

Abstract:

Post truth relates to circumstances whereby objective facts are less influential in shaping the opinion of the public, rather appealing to personal belief and emotion. Post truth era is bordering a blurry line between lies and truths, dishonesty and honesty, nonfiction and fiction. The entire phenomenon of post truth is about an individual’s opinion being worth more than the facts. As such, the present paper seeks to understand new insights or perspectives in literary criticism in the post truth era. The criticism of the literature was always based on broad schools of thoughts/theories, which were employed for many centuries. Some of the traditional approaches the paper highlights include: formalistic criticism, biographical criticism, historical criticism, gender criticism, psychological criticism, sociological criticism, mythological criticism, reader-response criticism, and deconstructionist criticism. Equally, the paper extensively analyzes some of the new perspectives or insights to literary criticism in the post truth era: reflective approach, didactic approach, partisan approach, and religious approach. In reflective approach to literature criticism in the post truth era, the meaning in the literature is reflected by the outside of its own being. On the other hand, in didactic approach to literature criticism, truth and meaning is taught in the literature. Moreover, in partisan approach to literature criticism, there is the truthful meaning that is already known and can be found in the literature. Lastly, in the religious approach to literature criticism in post truth era, the meaning and truth is the literature itself, while the outside world has nothing to do with it.

Abstract:

In contemporary literary theory, Plato is often cited as the original repudiator of literary truth, and Aristotle as he who set down that literature is “imitation,” thus himself involuntarily banning literature from truth. This essay argues that these interpretations adulterate the original arguments of Plato and Aristotle, who both believed in literary truth. We—literary theorists and philosophers of literature—should recognize this and rethink our interpretation of these ancient texts. This will, in turn, lead us to ask better questions about the nature of literary truth and value.

Abstract:

This article argues that what might be called the ‘post-literary’ is the completion of the literary – specifically, the literary that came to theoretical self-realisation in what came to be called Romanticism – and that that completion, which is our contemporary reality, happens, by its very nature, at the level of politics.

Abstract:

Plato's issue is with "orality," as embodied by "the poet," who is incapable of "telling the truth," but our current concern is with "canonized literature," in which the minority is purposefully disregarded or neglected. As a result, both the poet and canonized literature evade and/or ignore the truth. Plato looks for and sees solutions in "literacy" at his time, where the truth might be traced. We can now look for a place for the marginalized portion of literature –written by powerless, colonized, disregarded, and oppressed people who are able to express themselves and transmit their part of the truth to future generations. The main objective of this article is to analyze and present both issues and try to suggest a solution. And the method will depend on objective analysis and comparison between these two problems to understand them and accordingly contextualize them in the light of time. After all, our current time problematic canon might be solved by representing the minorities and giving them a space in the known canon.

Abstract:

Locating such works as Frank McCourt’s Angela’s Ashes or Michael Herr’s Dispatches in any bookshop or library often presents an unexpected challenge for the average reader. As a nonfictional account firmly embedded in the author’s personal experiences, there is strong reason to think that such books would be included in the History section, comfortably situated amongst similarly factual texts of historical discourse. Curiously, however, they are often found sharing shelf space with deliberately fictional novels. This example of inconsistent categorisation is a concern for many readers of such narratives, highlighting the inherent difficulty in establishing the exact status of any written work. However, this issue is acutely relevant to the literary form embodied by texts such as Dispatches, one which combines a distinctly novelistic style of writing with the most meticulous reportage to present a genre known informally as the ‘literature of reality’ or creative nonfiction. There remains a distinct ...

Abstract:

Some of the best literary works around the world are very good to learn, such as a poem “Ode on a Grecian Urn” by John Keats which is phenomenal by the quote “Beauty is truth, truth beauty”, and in prose, the work from Kate Chopin entitled The Awakening which is also phenomenal by the way the story ends. By using the theory of comparative literature, this study aims to describe the intense feeling of two different kinds of literary work by depicting their similarities and differences. The analysis shows that those works provide the description of different feeling delivered by each author. Keats presents the poetry in romantic mood, full of cheers and energy, although it serves momento mori. While Chopin presents the prose in elegiac or tragic mood. Those feeling are depicted throughout the way both authors represent the values of their works. Three values which are depicted in its similarities and differences are; 1) the meaning of death, 2) nature attribute, and 3) revealing truth. The feelings shown in the both literary works are basically about the reality of life. The beauty, the truth, the life, and the death are enclosed into the social life experienced by the people in the world. Keywords: comparative literature, feeling, , values of literary works

Abstract:

In literary works, truth and beauty have been expressed in a varied number of ways by authors of all genres. Rabindranath Tagore and John Keats, two prominent writers from two languages have linked beauty and truth in philosophical manners in many of their writings. Beauty and truth are not separate entities; they flow from the same spring. Tagore views beauty as linked to eternal characteristics of nature and truth is associated with it. Keats sees beauty from spiritual perspective and according to him, realization of truth leads to the fulfillment of beauty. Readers of Tagore and Keats get eye-opening insights from the viewpoints that are followed by their expressions in regarding the tenets of truth and beauty. Truth and beauty fulfill each other in their harmonious existence in the universe. The authors make us realize that beauty does not emanate merely from sensual pleasure; it is an abstract idea, a spiritual understanding that originates from rhythmic attachment with truth. This article compares and contrasts philosophies of truth and beauty from the writings of Tagore and Keats. In doing so, the paper investigates the literary works of the two writers and explores how they have philosophized truth and beauty in the domain of human thought as well as in the realm of spiritual discipline.

Abstract:

The goal of this article consists in carrying out a semantic analysis of the synonyms of nuclear lexemes “Pravda (truth)/ Verite” in the Russian and French literary texts. The subject of this research is the semantics of lexemes representing the concept of “Truth” in the Russian and French languages. Very few works in the modern linguistics are dedicated to comparative study of the concept of “Truth” in the Russian and French literary texts, which defines the relevance of this article. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that the author is first to examine functionality of the synonyms of nuclear lexemes “Pravda (truth) / Verite” in the Russian and French literary texts, as well as to determine the composition of meanings and dynamics of their development in these lexemes. The article employs the comparative and quantitative methods, semantic analysis, and modeling. In both languages the concept of “Pravda (truth) / Verite” implies such notions as: “Honesty”, ”Fairness”, “Sincerity”, ”Reality”, “Veracity”. The conclusion is made that in the Russian and French literary texts, the linguocultural concept of “Truth” is reflected in its primary meaning – "Honesty”. The distinctive feature is the in the Russian texts it is used as “Veracity”, while in the French – as “Fairness”, which emphasizes the specificity of mentality reflected in the linguistic worldview.

Abstract:

<p>South African author William Dicey’s 2016 collection of essays, Mongrel, operates as a literary prism, refracting and clarifying literary and sociological elements of life. The book’s six essays grapple with a sprawling range of subjects, including: the elusive distinction between fiction and non-fiction, literary footnotes, the endeavor of writing, the search for truth, the citizen’s search for community, the relevance of ethnicity in post-apartheid society, the perpetuation of socioeconomic disadvantage, the tragedy of criminal justice, and collective moral culpability for climate change. History, economics, and practical ethics underscore the entire collection, and exogenous sources such as Nabokov’s Pale Fire and Coetzee’s Disgrace can lend depth to the works. The essays of Mongrel can be understood as six discrete works, but they can also be understood as a meta-narrative that takes as its object the sociological search for restored community and the literary quest for authenticity. </p>

Palabras clave: Walter Benjamin, Hölderlin, verdad empática, crítica literaria Abstract Benjamin’s poetic theory is commented. It is noted that Benjamin follows Hölderlin in regarding a successful poem as a particular configuration that joins the intellectual and perceptual orders. Such a successful poem aims at and can possess not truth as correspondence to a given object, but rather what in the text is described as “emphatic truth”.

Abstract:

In this paper I investigate the status of popular science texts as a literary genre, and ask how a text can be recognized as belonging to that genre. To determine this I compare popular science texts with science fiction, which indicates that it is popular science's truth claims which give the literary genre of popular science its place in literature as a whole. However, critics have argued that literature is not concerned with truth, which implies that popular science texts—despite being written documents—are not literature. To resolve this I compare popular science with autobiography—another genre which makes truth claims—and examine the products of their shared intention of telling the truth about the natural world in the case of popular science and about oneself' in the case of autobiography.

Full text

Abstract:

This article uses critical discourse on the genre of literary journalism to conceptualize machismo as a primary means of representing the male gender in Mexico. The way gender and machismo are socially constructed and the stories Mexican men tell themselves about machismo influences their performance of it. This article addresses issues of gender representation and discusses what literary techniques authors of literary journalism employ to investigate the construction of Mexican masculinity. Modern day conceptions of machismo are still associated with traditional connotations of hyper-masculinity; it is a socially prescribed role internalized as the public ideal acting to inform women of societal expectations of men. Engrained deep in the culture, machismo is to a degree exacerbated by alcohol, leading to violence and spousal abuse. One major question is whether literary journalism can lead to a greater truth if authors use stylistic techniques that limit the reader’s understanding of how conclusions were formed. However, this question is inconsequential if it can lead people to find their own truths and start social change. Whether the actual connotations of machismo within the Mexican culture are changing is minor compared to whether Mexicans can reach a higher truth by negotiating the representation of gender and machismo in their own lives. How machismo is represented can lead to social change as stories are constantly changing. Keywords: machismo (representations of); male gender (social constructions of); gender representation; Mexico; stylistic techniques (writing); literary journalism

This article provides fi ndings on the status of „truth” in recent academic discourse. Willie van Peer suggests undertaking a critical analysis of some recent debates, using the term „revisionism” for this enterprise. Author elaborates on various methodologies concerning the status of truth: revelatory, formal, and empirical notion of truth, as well as theories rejecting the notion of truth altogether. These considerations lead to the conclusion that the subject of literary studies would profi t considerably from any attempt to increase semantic precision of invoked notions of truth.

Abstract:

Abstract This article examines Eileen Chang’s 1953 translation of Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea into Chinese as Cold War propaganda for the United States Information Service (USIS). It argues that this translation, meant to show the truth of democracy through its high modernist form, directly influenced the writing and translating of The Rice-Sprout Song (1955), the novel Chang wrote next for the USIS to expose the truth of famine in Communist China. I show that Chang’s translation practices connect US and Chinese literary modernisms in a showdown of literary forms and their disparate claims to the truth. Chang navigates political ideologies by eschewing linguistic equivalence to favor equivocation instead, ultimately transforming Hemingway’s modernist form via her own. It thus adds to transpacific studies and Cold War historiography by revealing the intimate relationship between political ideology and literary form, and their cross-fertilization in the process of translation.
