The decade since the publication of Jean-Michel Rabate's
controversial manifesto "The Future"" of Theory" saw important
changes in the field. The demise of most of the visible French or
German philosophers, who had produced texts that would trigger new
debates, then to be processed by Theory, has led to drastic
revisions and starker assessments. Globalization has been the most
obvious factor to modify the selection of texts studied. During the
twentieth century, Theory incorporated poetics, rhetorics,
aesthetics and linguistics, while also opening itself to
continental philosophy. What has changed today? The knowledge that
we live in a de-centered world has destabilized the primacy granted
to a purely Western canon. Moreover, much of contemporary theory
remains highly allusive and this is often baffling for students.
Theory keeps recycling itself, producing authentic returns of basic
theses, terms and concepts. Canonical modern theorists often return
to classical texts, as those of Plato, Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche. And
now we want to know: what is new?"Crimes of the Future "explores
the past, present and potential future of Theory.
