摘要:
Sensitivity reading (SR)- the expert, ameliorative assessment of literary texts for superficial, in accurate, or degradative depictions of oppressed groups-is a hotly con tested service in the book industry, one that some hold is censorious. This article explicates how these detractors' critiques function as informal suppression, drawing inspiration from Joanna Russ to expose key rhetorical strategies that reinforce a perni cious distinction between "literary" insiders and "nonliterary" outsiders. The construction and propagation of this dis tinction ultimately en codes minoritized editors as "sensitive readers" who constitute a threat to the literary enterprise itself, thereby rational izing their continued mar ginalization on aesthetic grounds.
