Critical reading
Critical reading is a form of language that does not take a text at face
value, but involves an examination of claims put forwards well as in the text's
section and selection of the information presented. The ability to readability
assumed to be present in scholarships and
"...a a
story has as many versions as it has readers. Everyone takes what he wants or
can from it and thus changes it to his measure. Some pick out parts and reject
the rest, some strain the story through their mesh of prejudice, some paint it
with their own delight. "
There are no
simple relations between these levels. As the "hermeneutic circle"
demonstrates, the understanding of single words depends on the understanding of
the text as a whole (as well as the culture in which the text is produced) and
vice versa: You cannot understand a text if you do not understand the words in
the text.
The critical
reading of a given text thus implies a critical examination of the concepts
used as well as of the soundness of the arguments and the value and relevance
of the assumptions and the traditions on which the text is given.
"Reading
between the lines" is the ability to uncover implicit messages and bias.
