This book demonstrates that theory in literary and cultural studies
has moved beyond overarching master theories towards a greater
awareness of particularity and contingency - including its own.
What is the place of literary and cultural theory after the Age of
Theory has ended? Grouping its chapters into rubrics of metatheory,
cultural theory, critical theory and textual theory, the collection
demonstrates that the practice of "doing theory" has neither lost
its vitality nor can it be in any way dispensable. Current
directions covered include the renewed interest in phenomenology,
the increased acknowledgement of the importance of media history
for all cultural practices and formations, complexity studies, new
narratology, literary ethics, cultural ecology, and an intensified
interest in textual as well as cultural matter.
