Textes possibles et justesse critique

Bibliographic Details
Summary:	In the field of reading theories, constructivist models state that there is no such thing as objective reading: each person reads through his or her own references, which will decisively orient the understanding of the text. But is what is legitimate for reading (a personal act with an assumed subjectivity) legitimate for criticism (a professional practice which must maintain a minimum of distance)? We will attempt to answer this question using the case of M. Houellebecq's Submission.
