  • Elegy for Theory

    by D. N. Rodowick ...
    Rhetorically charged debates over theory have divided scholars of the humanities for decades. In Elegy for Theory, D. N.

Far from lobbying for a return to the "high theory" of the 1970s and 1980s, he calls for a vigorous dialogue on what should constitute a new, ethically ... Read more
