Bloom, Hirsch, and Barthes in the Classroom: Negotiating Cultural Literacy.
Law, Joe K.
Freshman English News, v17 n1 p33-36 Fall 1988
Argues that the literature classroom is a forum for negotiating and renegotiating the culture and is not merely a means of transmitting knowledge and values to students. Argues that the consumerist attitude of Bloom and Hirsch towards education must be replaced by an adaptation of Barthes' strategy of rereading literature. (RS)
