Synopsis
This book examines the predicament of literacy in mass culture from the perspective of contemporary critical theory. Sussman argues that the question of literacy has been of central concern to authors ranging from Hawthorne and Melville to Pound, Calvino, and Milan Kundera--and has shaped their most significant works. He traces the conflict between resolution and literacy in contemporary society, and demonstrates how critical theory has anticipated and accounted for this tension.

From the Back Cover
'High Resolution' examines the predicament of literacy in mass culture from the perspective of contemporary critical theory. Sussman argues that there is tension between literacy and the open acknowledgment of discrepancies within social and linguistic fields on the one hand, and what he terms the resolving function, the utopian picture of harmony depicted by the state and large organizations, on the other.
