Title: | The Tortoise and the Hare | Contributor(s): | Biron, Dean Leonard (author) | Publication Date: | 2005 | Open Access: | Yes | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/1232 | Abstract: | Of all the characteristics that may be emphasised by those seeking to set apart the serious, authoritative critic from the inconsequential, workaday reviewer, perhaps the most fundamental is the liberty typically enjoyed by the former. So, while the celebrated literary critic F.R. Leavis (in The Great Tradition) is able to confidently assert in microscopic detail the comparative merits of Lawrence, Joyce, Conrad and Woolf, what Meaghan Morris (106) calls the “gulp it down, chew it over, throw it up” crowd strive (in no more than five hundred words and by close of business today, thanks very much) to explain why John Grisham’s latest tome will turn either heads or stomachs. Amongst reviewers, not surprisingly, one can find hugely varying levels of competence and principle. But when it comes to contemporary music, where the art of the review continues to be practiced across a wide range of media, there are many commentators who would deem the virtues of competence and principle irrelevant to begin with. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | M/C Journal, 8(5), p. 1-5 | Publisher: | Queensland University of Technology, Creative Industries Faculty | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 1441-2616 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 200199 Communication and Media Studies not elsewhere classified | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | C1 Refereed Article in a Scholarly Journal | Publisher/associated links: | http://journal.media-culture.org.au/0510/05-biron.php |
