Routledge proudly announces "theory4," a new series that presents
concise overviews of the major theorists, written with a particular
discipline in mind. Theory is now part of every discipline's set of
tools; these volumes are tailored to the needs of students and
scholars in a given field. Focusing on the great theoretical
figures since the end of the nineteenth century, each volume will
contain twenty to thirty entries. Each entry will give the reader a
brief description of that thinker's ideas and crucial innovations
in light of a specific discipline, along with a highly selected
list of recommended primary and secondary readings.
The inaugural volume, "Theory for Religious Studies, "will be
followed by volumes in history, art, film, music, and other
disciplines.
"Theory for Religious Studies" presents the key theoretical
influences on religious studies since the 1960s - an essential
guide to the figures and ideas animating religious studies today.
Drawing on their complementary knowledge of Eastern and Western
religious traditions, William Deal and Timothy Beal begin with four
foundational figures - Marx, Nietzsche, Saussure, and Freud - and
go on to provide guided introductions to Althusser, Bakhtin,
Barthes, Bataille, Baudrillard, Benjamin, Bourdieu, Butler, Cixous,
Deleuze and Guattari, Derrida, Foucault, Gadamer, Irigaray,
Kristeva, Lacan, Lefebvre, Levinas, Lyotard, Merleau-Ponty, Said,
Spivak, White, Williams, and Zizek. Brisk, thoughtful, and
engaging, this will be an essential first volume for anyone at work
in religious studies today.
