Example text
I use the overarching concept of the reader in and out of the text not only to differentiate the textual reader from the actual reader (which are both constructions), but to discuss various in-and-out movements that occur in the process of readingthe alternations between consumption and production, immersion and interactivity, role-playing and unmasking. 1 Most reader theorists have fixed on the product of reading to the exclusion of the process, which means that they necessarily return to the text.
So the maverick reader is both inf(l)ected by characteristics of a mass ethos and at the same time denounced for being unbranded and unalliedtoo individualistic. Highbrow and middlebrow readers defined themselves in opposition to each other, yet they actually shared the same concerns about massification, standardization, and hyperindividualism. One of the hallmarks of literary modernism was its preoccupation with teaching readers. Richard Poirier suggests that modernism can best be defined "as a kind of reading habit or reading necessity" (98).
The arrested image of a conservative and univocal modernism also overlooks the energy and excitement that artists derived from this poised, pivotal moment in history. As Perry Anderson observes, modernism occurred at a point characterized by the use of a still-powerful classical past against the capitalist degradation of culture; the appropriation of the energy and dynamism of the machine age for art's sake, an abstraction that kept art at a distance from an indeterminate technological present; and the co-optation of the "apocalyptic light'' of potential social revolutions to violently reject the social order in general (105).
