5-0 out of 5 stars Survival Guide Seeks Writers
Has your critique group hit an impasse? Are you afraid your comments are too harsh or too hollow? Are you ready to start your own critique group? Whatever your situation, Becky Levine's The Writing & Critique Group Survival Guide: How To Give and Receive Feedback, Self-Edit, and Make Revisions offers sound advice to take a group to the next level.

How do you tell a writer that you zoned out on page 3? Look for the specific causes, whether it's a lack of tension, a hero without a goal, lack of action, non-useful description, or shifting points of view. Levine cites common problems and suggested comments, which she offers in three different critiquer's voices.

In addition to defining and illustrating the nitty gritty of critiquing both fiction and non-fiction, she addresses choosing and running a group. She also offers suggestions for making the best use of your comments once you return to your computer.

Levine's instructive book is a valuable resource for deepening and strengthening the writing group experience. Check your own work against her worksheets to see how you can improve it before taking it to a group. Once you get there, let critiquers know what you are looking for. The give and take of the right critique group can move your story, article, or book proposal to the next level. It can open your eyes. Even if you're working without a group, Levine's suggestions can help.

Though you may not want to read every chapter immediately, The Writing & Critique Group Survival Guide: How To Give and Receive Feedback, Self-Edit, and Make Revisions should be on every writer's book shelf. You'll return to it again and again.

4-0 out of 5 stars Small Treasure
This is an excellent resource for small writing/critiquing groups.It starts with the basic how to set such a group up and continues with "tweaking" suggestions to make the group work.Our online writing group has chosen this book as our guide.

5-0 out of 5 stars A Necessary Book for Any Writer
It's hard to buy another writing book.Gosh, what more do people have to say on the subject???
But, while I've filled many bookcases with writing books, I must say that this one is special.Levine focuses on the importance of critique groups: how to form them, what to expect, what to offer, and (through all of this), how to bring your writing up to the next level.Levine's easy, humorous style makes this book a pleasure to read.If you've been thinking about critique groups (or are in one and are wondering if you're getting the most from it), you need this book.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great book for writers
This book will be helpful not only to people looking to start or reshape critique groups, but it's also inspiring for people starting or reshaping writing projects. The guide is clear, creative, and positive in tone. It's one of those books you'll want to keep near your elbow as you work.

5-0 out of 5 stars A must-have for anyone in a writing group
If you're in a writing group or are thinking of joining (or starting) one, you need this book. It takes you from the early stages of joining/setting up a group, through how to critique manuscripts, through how to receive critiques from other members and then put them to use. It seriously has everything you need (including handy worksheets that help you organize tasks and put together your critiques). Great book for any writer (regardless of genre). ... Read more


2. Institutional Critique: An Anthology of Artists' Writings

Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan
Editorial Review

Product Description
"Institutional critique" is an artistic practice that reflects critically on its own place within galleries and museums and on the concept and social function of art itself. Such concerns have always been a part of modern art but took on new urgency at the end of the 1960s, when—driven by the social upheaval of the time and enabled by the tools and techniques of conceptual art—institutional critique emerged as a genre. This anthology traces the development of institutional critique as an artistic concern from the 1960s to the present, gathering writings and representative art projects of artists who developed and extended the genre. The artists come from across Europe and throughout North America. The texts and artworks included are notable for the range of perspectives and positions they reflect, and for their influence in pushing the boundaries of what is meant by institutional critique.

Like Alberro and Stimson's Conceptual Art: A Critical Anthology, this volume will shed new light on its subject through its critical and historical framing. Even readers already familiar with institutional critique will come away from this book with a greater and often redirected understanding of its significance.

Artists represented include: Wieslaw Borowski, Daniel Buren, Marcel Broodthaers, Groupe de Recherche d'Art Visuel, Hans Haacke, Robert Smithson, John Knight, Graciela Carnevale, Osvaldo Mateo Boglione, Guerilla Art Action Group, Art Workers’ Coalition, Mierle Laderman Ukeles, Michael Asher, Mel Ramsden, Adrian Piper, The Guerrilla Girls, Laibach, Silvia Kolbowski, Andrea Fraser, Fred Wilson, Mark Dion, Maria Eichhorn, Critical Art Ensemble, Bureau d’Études, WochenKlausur, The Yes Men, Hito Steyerl, Andreas Siekmann ...

Product Description

This collection of essays, written by Dorothy Smith over the past eight years, is a long-awaited treasure by one of the world's foremost social thinkers. In it, Smith turns her wit and common sense on the prevailing discourses of sociology, political economy, philosophy, and popular culture, at the same time developing her own sociological and feminist practice in unexpected and remarkable directions.

Shedding the idiom of the sociologist, Smith inquires directly into the actualities of peoples' lives. Her critical investigations of postmodernism, political correctness, university politics, and SNAF (the Standard North American Family) draw on metaphors and examples from a stimulating range of autobiographical, theoretical, historical, political, and humorous resources. Out of an abstract encounter with Bakhtin, for example, comes an analysis of a child learning to name a bird, and a new way of seeing the story of Helen Keller. In introducing a radically innovative approach to the sociology of discourse, even the most difficult points are addressed through ordinary scenes of mothers, cats, and birds, as well as scientists, pulsars, and cell microscopes.

Smith's engaged, rebel sociology throws light on a remarkable range of issues and authors, forever changing the way the reader experiences the world. This, her signature work, will delight a wide and varied audience, and enliven university courses for years to come. ... Read more


4. (Con)Fusing Signs and Postmodern Positions: Spanish American Performance, Experimental Writing, and the Critique of Political Confusion (Latin American Studies)

Editorial Review

Product Description
Foregrounding a strategy of experimental techniques which Neustadt call "(con)fusing signs," the book explores critical and political dimensions of contemporary Spanish American artistic practices that are often explained away in the vague name of postmodern fragmentation.(Con)Fusing Signs explores the techniques, consequences and purposes for this type of fragmentation. This study reassesses the much discussed "crisis of representation" through an analysis of the complexity of political critique in areas as diverse (and related) as postmodernity, military dictatorship and postcolonialism. This book explores the manner in which multimedia artists Diamela Eltit, Alejandro Jodorowsky, and Guillermo G-mez-Pe-a articulate political critiques through textual (con)fusion while paradoxically underscoring their inability to get outside of discourse. ...

Editorial Review

Product Description
This collection explores the unique interplay of culture, history, and criticism in Native American stories: STORIES THROUGH THEORIES/THEORIES THROUGH STORIES explores the uneasy relations often contentious, sometimes complicit between American Indian Literature and literary theory. Some of the essays in this book open American Indian narratives to theoretical critique based on "western depth models." Others work from a very different direction, finding critique in storytelling and processes of narrative production, thereby exposing dimensions of literary theory that grow from the indigenous ground of Native stories themselves.

This collection of essays sometimes playfully but always insistently changes our readings of Native works and challenges our roles as intellectual guides until we step deeper into the ambiguous territories where writer, listener, reader, and critic intersect. Taken together, these essays provide compelling evidence for looking at primary Native cultures, authors, and histories as enrichments of Native literature. ... Read more

Description:
Prominent in recent discussions of East Asian writing systems has been a metadiscursive polemic that can be labeled the Critique of the Ideographic Myth. Associated primarily with John DeFrancis and J. Marshall Unger, this is an attack on the notion that the Chinese writing system represents ideas directly, and more broadly an argument for the primacy of phonography in inscription in general. This paper considers the disciplinary framework of the Critique, tracing its roots in a prewar Sinological debate (the Boodberg-Creel controversy) and in Leonard Bloomfield's famous dismissal of writing, and locating it within the postwar field of Asian Studies. ...

Product Description
Spurred by recent developments in information processing, a new class of technologies has emerged capable of evaluating the quality of prosaic texts. Accomplishing, through sheer number crunching, feats once attributable only to intelligence and intuition, these "automated essay scorers" possess the ability to simulate the judgments that experienced readers make when assessing written prose. Although their practical applications are obvious, the use of automated technologies to teach and assess writing remains a hotly contested issue. How reliable are automated essay scorers, and what place, if any, can they legitimately occupy in the writing curriculum? The Silicon Tutor addresses these questions and explores the evolution of intelligent writing aides from their prototypical beginnings nearly half a century ago to contemporary examples such as e-rater® and the Intelligent Essay Assessor(TM). With an emphasis on the pedagogical utility of automated writing aides, The Silicon Tutor should prove useful to writing instructors, educational administrators, or anyone interested in teasing apart fact from fiction regarding the potential and limitations of these nascent technologies. ...
