mike, I receive the digest version of the list, so I only saw your post with
the auteur criticism example after I had already posted my reply.
I would have to agree with you, in the case of selective acceptance of a
critical approach, one would have to convincingly show how the drawbacks of
the approach are overcome in the specific case where it is accepted or how
the merits of the approach outweigh its drawbacks. in your example, I don't
see how a romantic, reactionary, and essentializing approach could be of any
(long-term) use to a marginalized group, since these kinds of attitudes are
generally causes of their marginalization in the first place.
