This has led to "critical theory" becoming an umbrella term for an array of theories within the academic world of the United Kingdom and the United States. This article focuses primarily on the differences and similarities between them. ...more on Wikipedia about "Critical theory"

No less experimental, this new formalism managed to be playful, populist, childish or feminine in accent, and superflat (the term is borrowed from Japanese artist Takashi Murakami). ...more on Wikipedia about "Cute formalism"

Magic realism (or magical realism) is a literary genre in which magical elements appear in an otherwise realistic setting. The term was coined in the 1920s by a German art critic to describe a trend in post-Expressionist German art (see History below), but it is most often associated with the Latin American literary boom of the twentieth century, marked by the publication of One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez in 1967, which is considered the seminal magical realist text. Magical realism can be detected in the supernatural tales of E.T.A. Hoffman, which are related in the down-to-earth tone of confessional journalism. Magical realism may be viewed as more than a specific historical-geographical literary movement; it is an element of style that can be located in a large variety of novels, poetry, painting, and film. ...more on Wikipedia about "Magic realism"
