- W2321857868 abstract "How does a literary critic talk about canon formation if she sees the literary canon not as cast in stone or proclaimed ex cathedra, but as a variable product of certain people over a specific period of time, people who are temporarily vested with the power to decide what is important to read and teach to students, based on their own priorities, needs and values? How can she discuss canonicity if the concept of permanence and sacredness usually associated with it keeps repelling her because she endorses Terry Eagleton's notion that the list of literary works is always in flux: 'Value' is a transitive term: it means whatever is valued by certain people in specific situations, according to particular criteria and in the light of given purposes (11)? Such a critic must talk about a canon in relativist, non-exclusive, and, perhaps most important, political terms and focus on a canon's continuous expansion to reflect contingencies of the historical, economic, and social moment. Our shifting tastes, needs, and loci of power in academe also politically influence the shaping of a canon and prevent us from seeing it as a petrified, sanctified structure. John Clifford has indicated the instability of the literary canon by describing academicians as politically motivated architects of canons: Instead of priests protecting a sacred trust, we can more modestly see ourselves situated in a complex institutional environment with varied and hardly disinterested values (49). No longer priests, we no longer need be dogmatic about what must be included in or excluded from an ironclad canon. And in a recent panel on the Black American Literature Canon, Claudia C. Tate has agreed, describing canon formation as one of ongoing revisionism and reconstruction because major social changes continuously influence the inscribing criteria for admission into a canon. Moreover, these relativist, non-exclusive and political terms to conceptualize canonicity become even more obligatory when the critic using them is a non-priestess female academician, a feminist attempting to canonize. The term itself troubles feminists for whom its bestowal of favor smacks of patriarchal power. A feminist critic and teacher meditat-" @default.
