Edward Said’s metacritical operations: Ways of reading colonial plots
The ability of literature to function as the signifier of hegemonic power is undeniable, insofar as it has historically been able to canonize texts that respond to prevailing policies and, in parallel, build reading models that legitimize them.

I28-R145-13978_oai2025-11-17 Picallo, Ximena 2023-12-29 The ability of literature to function as the signifier of hegemonic power is undeniable, insofar as it has historically been able to canonize texts that respond to prevailing policies and, in parallel, build reading models that legitimize them. This legitimation is mainly based on the field of literary criticism, which, under academic assumptions, elaborates the production, consumption and analysis devices that contribute to building and disseminating value judgments and perspectives of the world. The article analyzes, on the one hand, how literary criticism cannot be separated from colonial and modern influences, as these have shaped both its interests and its methodologies; on the other hand, and based on these premises, it is proposed to read the work of Edward Said as a metacritical intervention that allows us to re-examine the Eurocentric foundations and the colonial bases of literary criticism. Es innegable la habilidad de la literatura para funcionar como el significante del poder hegemónico en tanto ha podido, históricamente, canonizar los textos que responden a las políticas imperantes y, paralelamente, construir modelos de lectura que los legitimen. Esta legitimación se afinca principalmente en el terreno de la crítica literaria, la cual bajo supuestos academicistas, elabora los dispositivos de producción, consumo y análisis que contribuyen a construir y diseminar juicios de valor y perspectivas de mundo. El artículo analiza, por un lado, cómo la crítica literaria no puede separarse de las influencias coloniales y modernas ya que estas han moldeado tanto sus intereses como sus metodologías; por otro lado, y en función de esas premisas, se propone leer la obra de Edward Said como una intervención metacrítica que permite reexaminar los fundamentos eurocéntricos y las bases coloniales de la crítica literaria. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/redes/article/view/13978 10.34096/redes.n10.13978 spa Secretaría de Extensión y Bienestar Estudiantil, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/redes/article/view/13978/13026 Redes de Extensión; Vol. 2 No. 10 (2023): Homenaje a Edward Said: Hermenéutica, Crítica y Liberación; 155-174 Redes de Extensión; Vol. 2 Núm. 10 (2023): Homenaje a Edward Said: Hermenéutica, Crítica y Liberación; 155-174 2451-7348 Edward Said Crítica literaria Modos de leer Colonialismo Metacríticas Edward Said Literary criticism Modes of Reading Colonialism Metacriticism Edward Said’s metacritical operations: Ways of reading colonial plots Las operaciones metacríticas de Edward Said: Modos de leer las tramas coloniales info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=redes&d=13978_oai |

The ability of literature to function as the signifier of hegemonic power is undeniable, insofar as it has historically been able to canonize texts that respond to prevailing policies and, in parallel, build reading models that legitimize them. This legitimation is mainly based on the field of literary criticism, which, under academic assumptions, elaborates the production, consumption and analysis devices that contribute to building and disseminating value judgments and perspectives of the world. The article analyzes, on the one hand, how literary criticism cannot be separated from colonial and modern influences, as these have shaped both its interests and its methodologies; on the other hand, and based on these premises, it is proposed to read the work of Edward Said as a metacritical intervention that allows us to re-examine the Eurocentric foundations and the colonial bases of literary criticism. |
