Theory After 'Theory' by Jane Elliott

Theory After 'Theory' by Jane Elliott

This volume argues that theory, far from being dead, has undergone major shifts in order to come to terms with the most urgent cultural and political questions of today.

'Arguably the most significant contribution of the volume Theory After 'Theory' to the increasingly deterritorialized debates surrounding the future of critical theory across the disciplines is to have brought before the public radical probings into fundamental concepts and modes of thinking that expose the gaps and neuralgic points both of "high theory" and of the mainstays in contemporary thought, soliciting a re-thinking of vital areas addressed by ethcial, political, and aesthetic criticism' -Hungarian Journal of English and American Studies
