History and profile

Kritik was established in 1967.[2][3] The founders were Aage Henriksen and Johan Fjord Jensen.[2] The magazine mostly featured articles on literary criticism.[2]

Kritik, based in Copenhagen, was published on a bimonthly basis by Gyldendal.[1]

Throughout its existence the editorial stance of Kritik changed.[2][3] In the 1970s the magazine tried to offer Marxism-oriented approach towards the understanding of literature.[2] In the 1980s it heavily engaged in cultural criticism.[2] During the 1990s its main focus was on art and philosophy.[2] Kritik ended publication in 2016.[4]

gollark: Yes, exactly.
gollark: (also, global prosperity is generally going up, illiteracy & extreme poverty going down, etc.)
gollark: Anyway, I find those "various people die of easily preventable deaths → capitalism bad" things unreasonable. I suspect most people don't actually *care* about random people somewhere dying, given the fact that you can quite easily donate to very effective charities for e.g. helping fix malaria under the existing system, and yet nobody does this.
gollark: There are MANY messages here. Yay for having vast amounts of free time now so I can read them all?
gollark: There is that weird thing in road networks where in certain cases adding additional roads can *worsen* traffic.
