Talk:Cultural critic

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

To say "Walter Benjamin on the left" is an extremely huge oversimplification. The Frankfurt School had as much influence from the left as it did from the right. Considering them "lefty" sounds inaccurate to me. --Clementduval 05:47, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

The definition is a truism, don't you think? "A cultural critic is a critic of a given culture." DoctorElmo 18:29, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] cultural critics v. prophets?

A cultural critic therefore stands, in relation to intellectual or artistic life, or certain social arrangements or educational practices, roughly where a prophet would in respect of religious life. What on Earth does this mean? The bold text immediately following it suggests that it was thrown in carelessly. – Scartol · Talk 00:11, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Notable Cultural Critics"

Why is there no mention in this list of C.G. Jung or Raoul Vaniegem, when Sigmund Freud and Guy Debord have their respects paid? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.71.245.81 (talk) 00:33, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
