Beskrivning

Interdisciplinary essays on the role of high theory in politics and popular culture.Interdisciplinary in scope and often provocative in their choice of materials, the essays in this volume present new strategies for theorizing culture and politics. Not content simply to "apply" theory to political and cultural objects, they instead treat all three as complex, interconnected, and constantly evolving areas of inquiry. Drawn from the innovative work originally published in Strategies: Journal of Theory, Culture and Politics, the essays collected here explore a variety of topics, ranging from considerations of Marx, Foucault, Jameson, and Rorty to investigations of Madonna, Pasolini, pornography, and vampires. Lively and inventive, Strategies for Theory goes beyond conventional cultural studies and cultural politics in order to suggest new approaches to both.Contributors include Teresa Brennan, William Chaloupka, Iain Chambers, Kelly Dennis, Ernesto Laclau, John P. Leavey Jr., Bradley J. Macdonald, Marilyn Manners, Donald Preziosi, Kriss Ravetto, Laurence A. Rickels, R. L. Rutsky, Michael Ryan, Keith Topper, Gregory L. Ulmer, and Samuel Weber.

Recensioner i media

"Theory in relation to culture and politics is a central issue that pervades the humanities, arts, and social sciences today. This book presents leading scholars in the areas of theory, cultural studies, and political analysis who offer surprising perspectives on this topic. A fascinating read." — Mark Poster, editor of Politics, Theory, and Contemporary Culture"An excellent collection that offers both compelling critical views of established figures and theoretically inflected considerations of cultural phenomena." — Jeffrey J. Williams, coeditor of The Norton Anthology of Theory and Criticism
