Critics in the Blogosphere: Hitting Close to Home

I recently found this piece over at Parabasis while cruising the blogosphere. I felt it particularly pertinent to us here at The Savannah Dramaturgy given the fact that criticism is a big part of what we do here.

However, I would note that he hits completely on the nose regarding Blog Suspicion in terms of much that is done. However, The Savannah Dramaturgy does not exist for the purpose of criticism alone. Critics are, by their nature, disinterested outsiders who give feedback.

This is not the mission of our publication here, as we are, instead, highly interested that our community as a whole flourish. Critical reviews are only worth the time if you think that the figures involved can do better, after all. It is our sincere hope that we may join with thespians in Savannah in order to construct a sustainable dramatic enterprise.

As such, we remain your faithful servants, The Savannah Dramaturgy.
