Beskrivning
Surveying the extraordinary scope of contemporary theory, Jeffrey R. Di Leo brings together contributors from around the world to speak to the ways in which theoretical concerns from a variety of disciplines operate within their respective fields of concern. Contemporary theory is a multi- and inter-disciplinary endeavour that operates within and among the humanities, the social sciences, and many of the professions. In addition to its now somewhat more standard-fare work in these areas, it has also made substantial inroads into the natural sciences and the formal sciences. To be sure, more disciplines from across the academy have integrated theory into their practice than at any other time in history. Di Leo and his fellow contributors survey the workings of contemporary theory within and among the humanities, sciences, and professions, including contributions on literary studies, film studies, gender studies, visual art, law, biology and geology. They bring together distinguished theorists whose work spans the academy to speak to the ways in which theoretical concerns from a variety of disciplines work within their respective fields of concern.

Recensioner i media

What can theory do today? This is the question to which these vibrant, diverse, abrasive, and politically savvy essays gathered in Di Leo’s compendium answer in many voices. The polyphony offered results in a crash course on theory’s recent inventions and interventions. A metamorphosed theory rejuvenated by interdisciplinarity, spliced in original assemblages, sloughing off old skins and new masks, destabilizes, rethinks and re-founds our happily undisciplined disciplines.
