User:Criticism crisis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Visual and Critical Analysis: Criticism in/and Crisis. Interestingly, "criticism" and "crisis" each have the same Greek root which encompasses "discrimination, decision, crisis—--to decide." [1] We recognize this problem as both subject and method. The crisis is a problem of epistemology as well as history: the contemporary critical moment functions as a kind of break within itself: an aporia whereby a different set of questions regarding the nature of knowing might emerge.
