This article tries to understand the place and the role of criticism in the present, relating it to the feeling of pleasure. Among the questions that mobilize us are: Does the judgment involved in criticism, which we recognize as evaluation, is also governed by pleasure? Is it possible to write criticism pleasantly and responsibly at the same time? What relationship is established between critic and pleasure? These questions will certainly force us to rethink the instance of criticism in our own aesthetic experience. Among the authors who assisted us in this research are Immanuel Kant, Luigi Pareyson, John Dewey, Roland Barthes and Hans Robert Jauss, among others. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
