Reading texts: up close & from afar
Jan Ifversen  

Methods in cultural studies are strongly text-based. Even the most contextualist approach will have to let the texts speak back. Even the most structuralist approach – on discourse, field or system – has to engage with that in texts which escapes…closure. As Barthes has said, we need to engage with the third meaning that disturbs and create uncertainty. Dominique LaCapra has pointed to the worklike aspect of texts “that supplements empirical reality”. To understand what texts do to us, we need textual analysis.

This workshop focuses on text reading strategies and text analysis practices.
