Beskrivning

Opposing all claims that theory has come to an end, this book presents a fresh perspective on our reading, understanding, and application of theory and its affect on our interpretation of texts. (In)fusion theory challenges efforts to see theory as inhibiting by presenting an approach that is innovative, eclectic, and subtle in order to draw out competing and constellating ideas and opinions. This collected volume of essays examines (In)fusion theory and demonstrates how the theory can be applied to the reading of various works of Indian English novelists such as Salman Rushdie, Amitav Ghosh, Anita Desai, and Vikram Seth.

We have heard about the death of theory for a decade, but of course the real question is what are the possibilities of theory now. This volume, with its sterling cast of contributors, offers some answers. It argues for a programmatic heterogeneity, fusing theories without disciplinary prejudice.
