The correct answer is: Madness and civilization- Roland Barthes.

To determine the incorrect pairing, we can examine the authorship of each work listed:

1. Criticism in the Wilderness: This influential work of literary criticism was written by Geoffrey Hartman and published in 1980. This pair is correct.
2. Madness and Civilization: This famous historical study of insanity was written by the French philosopher and social theorist Michel Foucault (originally published in 1961), not by the structuralist/post-structuralist theorist Roland Barthes. Therefore, this pairing is incorrect.
