Description
After Poststructuralism: Reading, Stories and Theory by Colin Davis provides a fresh perspective on the fortunes of theory in the humanities. This thought-provoking volume reconsiders key arguments for and against theory, reassesses its contribution to critical issues such as knowledge, ethics, hope, and identity. Davis sheds new light on the work of influential thinkers like Jean-François Lyotard, Emmanuel Levinas, Louis Althusser, and Julia Kristeva, offering a series of insightful readings that challenge prevailing views. He argues that theory may change, but it will not go away, and instead proposes a way forward for the humanities in which theory plays a crucial part. Suitable for researchers, teachers, or students of literary criticism, philosophy, and semiotics, this book offers a wonderfully accessible account of the past and present state of theory.
