I came across a title which reads "Literariness of Theory" and suggests several works by prominent authors like Goethe's Faust, Plato's Dialogues, and Derrida's Glas. I would like to be informed of the meaning of the term and how I can relate it to these works.
Isaiah A. Hines
I believe it refers to the nature of literary genre and of writing and its implications for theorizing. Perhaps these works share a concern with such problems of language and entanglement?

Isaiah A. Hines Indeed it has to do with the problem of theorizing literature. Upon first reading about these works, I could figure out something that relates to how a theory of literature should be literary as well since literature is subjective and theory has to do more with objectivity.
