Fictocritical Strategies: Subverting Textual Practices of Meaning, Other, and Self-Formation (Lettre)

Gerrit Haas re-theorises the peculiar textual conduct of ficto/critical writing, which inextricably intersects fictional with critical discourses as well as aesthetics with poetics and ethics. The slash here signals the conjunction between a self-reflexive ficto -critical insight and a wider discursive ficto- critical motivation. In its refined form, this twofold trope shifts perspective from the prevalent generic between onto the meta -generic level of our textual practices. Ultimately, the ficto/critical is thus qualified as an unheard-of interventionist aesthetic of deconstruction directed at the ramifications of our textual cultures.
