Résumé
As critique appears to have run out of steam, become a culprit in the culture wars, and a source of capitalization in the marketplace of social media prestige, the following discussion embraces these dynamics not as epiphenomena to be overcome but as critical styles that can be restyled within a consequentialist and pragmatist frame. Dramatizing critique in this way shifts the methodological focus away from the redemptive gesture that guides the critique of critique toward the creative exploration of what can be done to make critique work within the gamified battlefield of contemporary social media environments. Doing so invites a provocative change of critical tone, reflections upon who counts as a critic, and an encounter with everyday moral calculations. It culminates in a deflationary image of critique as everyday practice.
