The world of literary theory and criticism is once again at a
crossroads. While much of the academy has been absorbing and
institutionalizing that unstable mixture of poststructuralism,
deconstruction, political critique and materialist historicism
which is known as cultural theory, some people have been working up
alternative theories. This book is about some of these less
familiar postcultural theories, and about the ways in which they
challenge current thinking and open other, positive and
constructive, possibilities for thought and research in the
Nineties.
