Apologies for cross-posting
New academic disciplines are sprouting all the time. One of the most
recent, as far as I know, is that of 'failure studies.' And I know of
courses in film studies focusing on 'failed films.' Now this is my
question: Is failure really a scholarly/academic category, or should
it not better be relegated to criticism and movie reviews ('thumbs up
or down')? What about the longtime notion of academic abstention from
critical evaluation?
Thanks for your ideas.
Henry
