Taytyy lukea Veenstran artikkeli, mutta taman sitaatin perusteella suuntauksessa ei nayta olevan mitaan erityisen uutta - siinahan korostetaan tekstin ja kontekstin suhdetta, ja sita ettei teksti "dokumentoi" ymparoivaa yhteiskuntaa vaan on itsessaan sosiaalinen voima... Eiko tama vastaa taiteentutkimuksen lahtokohtia yleensa? Samaa maarittelya voisi kayttaa esimerkiksi vaihtamalla Cultural poetics -ilmaisun tilalle sanat film history...
