(yes,
these are meant to be funny. No, I wasn't trying to offend anyone.
Etc. etc. etc.)
Formalism-
The text spontaneously descended from Heaven and all we have to do to
understand it is read it and analyze its form, cause clearly context
can tell us nothing, nothing at all!!!
Psychoanalytic
criticism-
The text harbors within itself all kinds of dark, mysterious,
atavistic tidbits that tell us whether or not the author had a thing
for his mamma, or something...
Marxism-
The text features someone oppressing someone else, even if the text
is just about two people sitting on a nondescript sofa drinking water
and not saying anything at all.
Reader-response
criticism-
The text is what my brain makes of it, and if that means that
Moby-Dick
is about an elephant's quest for really tasty sushi, then so be it.
