What’s Wrong With These Terms

چکیده
How do we know when critical terms lose their power? Could it be that some of the fundamental notions of literary and cultural studies have been adopted so broadly in so many contexts and disciplines that they explain too much, and thus not enough? This is true for terms such as textuality, discourse, narrative, and representation, some of our colleagues have claimed. If critical terms originating in our field are imported, or some may say appropriated, by the social sciences, the arts, architecture, even law and the sciences, it is surely because they enable new ways of thinking and new modes of analysis. Can they be too open, too ubiquitous?
