In Cold War Criticism and the Politics of Skepticism Tobin Siebers claims that modern criticism is a Cold War criticism. Postwar literary theory has absorbed the skepticism suspicion and paranoia of the Cold War mentality and it plays them out in debates about the divided self linguistic indeterminacy the metaphysics of presence multiculturalism canon formation power cultural literacy and the politics of literature. The major critical movements of the postwar age Siebers argues belong to three dominant phases of the Cold War era. The age of charismatic leadership characterized by Churchill FDR Stalin and Hitler lies behind the preoccupation with intention affect and impersonality found in the New Criticism. The age of propaganda motivates the fascination with the guiles of language undecidability and deconstruction. The age of superpowers provides the dominant metaphor in the new historicism s analysis of the technology of power. All three ages of criticism reflect the skepticism of the Cold War mentality and this skepticism Siebers posits has impaired the ability of literary theorists to talk about the politics of criticism in an effective way. A trenchant analysis of postwar theory Siebers s work presents a new view of the politics of criticism and a surprising vision of what theory must do if it is to enter the post Cold War era successfully.
