Abstract

The resistance to the theory of reading—the resistance to the need for thinking about literature in terms of event and experience—would be a variant of the “resistance to theory” (de Man). From 1990 to the present day, such a resistance has shown particular manifestations in Latin American and Argentine criticism and in “histories of reading.” In those contexts, a certain idea of “historicization” is used as a factualist, post-theoretical, or anti-theoretical manner of suppressing the critical issue of literature’s resistance to being reduced to its cultural aspect.
