"operative criticism"
Via Heynen's chapter 3 of Architecture and Modernity, I'm now aware of Tafuri's critique of "operative criticism" and even though Tafuri espouses a "historical criticism", the operation of operative criticism is still very prevalent in the ongoing formulation of architectural history and theory. The prime example (for me at least) of how operative criticism still prevails is in the universal notion that significant architectural history and theory most certainly must emanate from the university, particularly from those who write or have written PhD dissertations.
