You are a critic
Criticism of a text
What is our job as critics and analysts of a text?
Topics: methodology, theory
To talk about a radio text means that we engage in a dialogue that brings us into the scene as a participant in an exchange. We make certain assumptions, both methodological and theoretical ones.
Even the statement "I didn't like this radio play" carries with it a sizable amount of implicit assumptions.
QUESTIONS:
If you do not like a radio play, you do not have to listen all the way through. But give some reasons for your judgement.
If you like a radio play, in what ways can you describe your pleasure (and desire?)?
