"The demise of literary theory has by now confirmed the transition to a third regime of relevance, where increasingly literature is not recognized for its social and political weight, nor indeed for some presumed aesthetic uniqueness, but is rather evaluated in a more low-key regime of relevance for what it can provide in terms of practically useful experience or entertainment or therapy."
