We become more aware by Empathizing?
The demand is "to open the canon" so as to make it multicultural instead of "eurocentric" and to make it represent adquately the concerns and writing of women and of ethnic, non-hetereosexual, and other groups. Another demand is that the standard canon be stripped of its élitism and its "hierarchism"—that is, its built-in discriminations between high art and lower art—in order to include such cultural products as Hollywood films, television serials, popular songs, and fiction written for a mass audience. There is also a radical wing of revisionist theorists who, to further the political aim to transform the existing power-structure, demand not merely the opening, but the abolition of the standard canon and its replacement by marginal and excluded groups and texts. - Taken from M.H. Abrams' A Glossary of Literary Terms 7th Edition.
