TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide three readings of the landscape of values: ways of conceiving of the moral life, impediments to public discussion of values, and treatment of values in a specific practice of social inquiry.
Abstract: Current uncertainty in the social sciences surrounding efforts to represent social reality, the cultural authority of social science, and the legitimacy and validity of its knowledge claims, is due, in part, to debate about the moral and political meaning of social inquiry practices. Although this is by no means a new debate, it has been brought to the foreground in recent years through developments in feminist philosophy, critical theory, and practical hermeneutics. To encourage further discussion of the relationship between empirical and normative aspects of inquiry practices, this article provides three readings of the landscape of values: ways of conceiving of the moral life, impediments to public discussion of values in professional practice, and treatment of values in a specific practice of social inquiry.

TL;DR: Exploding English brings together elements of critical theory, intellectual history, and the sociology of knowledge, with a linking thread of autobiography, as described by Bergonzi as discussed by the authors, who has also published poetry and fiction and has been involved in university administration.
Abstract: What is going on in English studies? Bernard Bergonzi, a literary critic and teacher, who has also published poetry and fiction and has been involved in university administration, seeks to answer this frequently-raised question. With the advent of theory and the accompanying bitter controversies, English studies have changed rapidly and the author describes the developments he has experienced in England and the United States since he began university teaching in 1959. Exploding English brings together elements of critical theory, intellectual history, and the sociology of knowledge, with a linking thread of autobiography.
