Post-Theories in Literary and Cultural Studies focuses on the
shifting paradigms in literary and cultural studies. Prompted by
the changes and problems on the global scale, the last two decades
have seen a resurgence of scholarly interest in theories which are
more embedded in the social realities and human condition. This
volume shows that theory can reinvent theory and re-define
criticism according to the demands of the new millennium. In this
context, it examines new ways of considering the relation of
post-theory to the concepts such as ethics, aesthetics, truth,
value, authenticity, human, and reality to understand the mindset
of the new century. Without disregarding or neglecting the legacy
of "Theory," this volume presents the various suggestions and
concerns of post-theoretical studies that reflect the sensibilities
of the contemporary social and cultural life. It is a timely and
relevant source of reference to those who wish to develop an
understanding of this change of attitude in post-theoretical
studies towards a more directly and sincerely responsive approach
to the current problems worldwide, their representations in
literature and language, reflections in theory, roots in
socio-political domains, and effects on the material reality.
