How to do thoughts with words: on understanding literature.
2014
In the last 10 or 15 years, however, a rival paradigm of literary criticism has
emerged in the form of empirical studies of literature. Scholars working in this
new paradigm recommend quite a different conception of text, meaning, and
understanding. This change in interest is by no means arbitrary, because it
directly results from the way the research domain of literary criticism is model-
led as well as from the philosophical orientation of this empirical approach.
In what follows we shall first cast a short glance at the special features of
empirical studies of literature (abbreviated as ESL) before we give a condensed
report on how ESL might come to terms with the problem of understanding.
