Literary critics and theorists often shy away from talking about writers
and readers as people who put language to use. Instrumentalized reason,
positivism, and other watchwords warn against turning a literary artifact
into mere data or information, or making it part of an exchange of language
that is not exclusively aesthetic in nature. At the same time, when critics
seek praxis in literature, speak about the performative attributes of a
text, or discuss how to do things with words, they usually treat whatever
text they are considering as a stable object. The contributors to this
special issue of *Representations* are all interested in language-in-use as
it applies to different kinds of linguistic artifacts and to text
understood as the dynamic product of an interactive process. –*from the
introduction*
