Literature in the Now

It is interesting the world we live in today. Reading no longer means looking at words on a page, but rather to read is to interpret. Texts no longer are books, poems, and scripts, but are cultural artifacts. New criticism is not a single limb of literary criticism, but has branched out into psychoanalytic criticism, feminism, queer literary criticism, and race/gender/sexuality modes of criticism. While what we define as modern, the twentieth century to now, has changed significantly since the 1900s. Post modernism is now our current day, where ideology has changed so fast that definitions are redefined, criticism is being criticized, and constructions are being deconstructed. We no longer give a care to what the author means by a text they write, but rather we separate the product from the producer. We interpret characters and situations based on their depictions and how it relates to political and cultural institutions.
For Example:
Logocentric texts. Logocentric tells us the differences that tell us what makes a human, human by looking at the reason that people have. I agrue that reason is nothing more than a constructed ideology by the patriarchal system, that reason has sprung from white male logic. We cannot define someone as human based on the logic of a certain group of the populas. We talk the word reason, and must redefine it. Do we really know what makes a human, human? Aren't we all blinded by our own perceptions, not allowing space for differencial opinions, divergent thoughts, and reconstructing ideologies? Post modernism has deconstructed essentialistic mind frames by targeting language, culture, race, and the human concious (ect.). Everything now-a-days is questioned, and everything we say, think, and notion is not to be trusted. As confusing as this all seems, I confess it makes sense.
