Poetics
Morality
Universal/ Particular
Ancient/ Modern
reader creates meaning, not author; imitation brings new meaning
all particulars together make up the universal; lone particulars insignificant
meaning is subjective --no lies possible
author cannot instruct unless reader finds meaning
n/a
created by the reader; specific to individual
work with complete lines of meaning is beautiful
n/a
no universal meaning
n/a
the reader is in charge of meaning, but the state holds morality
any instruct-ion will change as context changes
n/a
state tells what is beautiful
reader/ culture creates meaning
no lies, meaning is subjective
particular to each culture; no universality
if it is within your culture, doesn't matter if ancient or modern
only people within culture can say what is beautiful within culture
morality from within; don't inflict outside morals on different culture
n/a
instruct-ion from within, not without
creativity
if from outside, lies; if from within, can be truth
n/a
society decides beauty
text particular to time, place, society; language both univ.. and partic.
society decides--meaning in particular context
no platonic ideal possible
morality from society
n/a
n/a
modern look to ancients
particular
men should not dominate the fields of writing or literary criticism
a step 'toward a feminist poetics'
beautiful work is specific to itself
instruct; women as readers and writers
truth in a honest look at female writers
creativity, for women
creativity
beautiful writer is comfort-able with self; neither 'only woman' and 'greater than man'
none
both, for the writer
man-centered writing is not truthful to women
redefine terms of socialization
particular; reject the male universal
creation
n/a
truthful work is beautiful
delight, but with and aim to instruct
beautiful work has integrity
none
n/a
wants unified whole of humanity, not female and male differences
females are equal to males; androgyny is desired
