Art after Continental Theory
In Literary Theory: An Introduction, Terry Eagleton proposes that Continental Theory has opened all cultural production to critical scrutiny. Doubtlessly, this is true. This criticism has overturned long held assumptions and divisions while blurring the lines between all forms of cultural output. Everything is open for re-evaluation. I believe, though, that fine art has weathered this storm and emerged, although changed, remaining a separate and distinct form of cultural production.
