النقد الثقافي و النقد المعرفي : الائتلاف و الاختلاف

Abstract EN

Cultural and Cognitive Criticism: Similarities and differences In treating the literary text, contemporary studies seem to go beyond poetic and aesthetic analysis.

Cultural criticism is considered as a new trend that came as a reaction to structuralist, semiotic and aesthetic readings.

It is a result of poststructuralism and the two phases of postmodernity and globalization.

In light of the political changes that the world has witnessed and which affected not only the economic and geographic dimension but also the cultural and intellectual level as well, a new formulation of knowledge and contemporary culture came into existence.

Thus, the literary critic is obliged to deal with the cultural and thematic content of the text rather than its formal and aesthetic structures.

The onset of cognitive criticism created a competition with cultural criticism through cognitive psychology and scientific language in order to detect human consciousness that mingles within the depth of the text.

In this context, culture and cognition will have the same mission.

However, they differ in the means and limits of this task.

In our present analysis, we will compare between culture and cognitive criticism revealing points of divergence and convergence
