Choi, Hie Sup & Shim, Sang Wook. “A Study on Using Pluralistic Literary Theory in Postmodern Age.” Studies in English Language & Literature. 40.1 (2014): 231-246. This paper is to examine the using pluralistic literary theory in postmodern age. Most readers assume that great literature was universal and expressed general truths about human life, and that readers required no special knowledge to read a work. However, things began to change now: Readers of literature have been troubled by a seemingly endless series of challenges to the common sense. Therefore literary study must research the text by the pluralistic theories employing not any one method in interpreting a work of art but every method which might prove efficient. In addition to this, literary study must be surveyed the text by the pluralistic theories employing not any one method in interpreting a work of art but every method which might prove efficient. As we know structuralism hit the headlines when Colin MacCabe, who wrote an article according to structuralism in literature, failed to obtain a tenured appointment at Cambridge University in 1980. To know pluralistic literary theories we must understand filiation and affiliation in Edward W. Said’s travelling theory, and ‘context framework’ which involves the circumstances that form the setting for an event, statement or idea about author, reader, language, text, and reading.
