A counter-canon arises only from an ideological cement, not aggregation

Evidence

In short, there has been a very considerable aggregation of texts and individuals, but mere aggregation of texts and individuals does not give rise to the construction of a counter-canon. For the latter to arise, there has to be the cement of a powerful ideology, however incoherent and loosely defined. This cement eventually came to metropolitan literary theory in the shape of the Three Worlds Theory – especially after the later 1960s, in the global aftermath of the Chinese Cultural Revolution, and more so after the adoption of a certain brand of Maoism by some influential sections of the Parisian avant-garde, from Julia Kristeva to Jean-Luc Godard. — Aijaz Ahmad, In Theory, 143
