Summary: | Insofar as the reading of literary artworks is increasingly limited to literary criticism, any study of reading of such works is a study of critical, that is, close reading. Yet even within criticism, close reading has been rejected by distant reading, which enables, precisely by way of this rejection, both the reading of uncanonised texts, neglected by close reading, and a new reading of the canon itself. Kolikor branje umetnostnih literarnih tekstov poteka le še v literarni vedi, je vsaka študija branja tovrstnih tekstov študija literarnovednega, tj. t. i. natančnega branja. To celo v sami literarni vedi zavrača t. i. oddaljeno branje, ki pa s tem omogoča tako branje natančnemu branju nedostopnih nekanoniziranih tekstov kakor novo branje samega kanona. |
