I got this book Ordinary Language Criticism. Inspired by Cavell and Wittgenstein. Part of the claim of the book is that it is written in something called "ordinary language," though I noticed a lot of English-Deparment-speak in some of the contributions. There's not enough here to start a new critical movement. Sure, I enjoy jargon-free prose, but I also enjoy theoretical inventiveness and jargon-heavy prose. I haven't read the articles by Bruns and Altieri yet.

I don't enjoy Cavell's writing very much, and an article about him in this volume didn't help. Too much of the "Aren't Emerson and Thoreau great" tone without anything specific about what we can learn from them. We should just worship at their altar, apparently.
