A Taxonomy of Responses and Respondents to Literature [electronic resource] / Deanne Bogdan.

The stasis, stock, kinetic, spectator, and dialectic responses to literature all serve to deny the popular misconception that literary analysis invariably deals a death blow to the vitally engaged, spontaneous, and thus authentic response.

520 |a The stasis, stock, kinetic, spectator, and dialectic responses to literature all serve to deny the popular misconception that literary analysis invariably deals a death blow to the vitally engaged, spontaneous, and thus authentic response. Stasis is a response in which an intuited imaginative identity between subject and object develops in an almost instantaneous recognition of the entire form of the literary work. The stock response exists at a pre-critical level, and concerns itself with cliched thought and ego-massage. Kinetic response involves compulsive action and engagement through visceral states and pseudo-feeling. The spectator response is detached and disinterested, and operates at the critical level. The dialectic response incorporates intellectual and emotional working through to attain imaginative identity and oscillates between engagement and detachment. The dialectic response to literature is the only response that moves between all levels (precritical, critical, postcritical, and autonomous). Actual student responses to Sinclair Ross's short story "The Painted Door" and John Updike's story "A&P" illustrate the variety of responses possible in the literature classroom. (Thirty-eight notes and two diagrams are included.) (RS)
