explication de texte การใช้

In French criticism, close reading is " explication de texte ", the tradition of textual interpretation in literary study, as proposed by Gustave Lanson.
While initially this might seem reasonably innocuous, " explication de texte ", and explication per se, is an interpretative process where the resulting new knowledge, new insights or new meanings, are open to subsequent debate and disaffirmation by others.
Close reading ( or " explication de texte " ) was a staple of French literary studies, but in the United States, aesthetic concerns, and the study of modern poets was the province of non-academic essayists and book reviewers rather than serious scholars.
By contrast, in literary criticism, the term'explication'is used as a proxy for the term " explication de texte ", where additional understandings and meanings are derived from the " close reading " of ( say ) a poem, novel or play.
