Zusammenfassung: | Literary studies' turn to politics in the wake of the radical social movements of the 1960s and 1970s supposedly meant the banishment of aesthetic considerations from the academy. As scholars asked what role literary works played in supporting or challenging dominant ideologies, a focus on the text's formal beauty and the pleasures it might elicit came to seem irresponsible or even complicit with the iniquities of the social order. Until quite recently, this suspicion of aesthetics was the default posture within literary scholarship, a means of establishing the rigor of one's thought and the purity of one's political commitments. And yet the widely accepted view that the discipline simply changed directions at some point in the final decades of the twentieth century cries out for further scrutiny. With many scholars advocating a renewal of attention to textual surfaces and aesthetic experiences, it is worth asking whether the break with midcentury formalism was quite as clean is it once appeared. Tracing the succession of methodologies from New Criticism to the digital humanities, Guilty Aesthetic Pleasures retells the discipline's history from a new vantage point, with the aesthetic as the complicated, morally ambiguous, and embattled, but stubbornly resilient protagonist.... |

in the wake of radical social movements in the
1 960s and 1 970s, fiterary studies embrace
of politics entailed a widespread rejection of
aesthetic considerations. For scholars invested
in literature’s role in supporting or challenging
dominant ideologies, appreciating literature’s
formal beauty seemed frivolous and irrespon-
sible, even complicit with the iniquities of the
social order. Th is suspicion of aesthetics be-
came the default posture within literary schol-
arship, a means of establishing the rigor of
one’s thought and the purity of one’s political
commitments. Vet as Timothy Aubry explains,
aesthetic pleasure never fully disappeared from
the academy. It simply went underground.
From New Criticism to the digital human-
ities, Aubry recasts aesthetics as the com-
plicated, morally ambiguous, embattled yet
resilient protagonist in late twentleth-century
and early twenty-first—century literary studies.
He argues that academic critics never stopped
asserting preferences for certain texts, rhetori-
cal strategies, or intellectual responses. Rather
than serving as the enemy of formalism and
aesthetics, political criticism enabled scholars
to promote heightened experiences of percep-
tual acuity and complexity while adjudicating
which formal strategies are best designed to
bolster these experiences. Political criticism,
in other words, did not eradicate but served
covertly to nurture reading practices aimed at
achieving aesthetic satisfaction.
Guilty Aesthetic: shows that liter-
ary studies’ break with midcentury formalism
was not as clean as it once appeared. Today,
when so many scholars are advocating renewed
attention to textual surfaces and aesthetic
experiences, Aubry s work illuminates the
surprisingly vast common ground between the
formalists and the schools of criticism that
succeeded them.
