Articoli correlati a After Theory
The golden age of cultural theory (the product of a decade and a half, from 1965 to 1980) is long past. We are living now in its aftermath, in an age which, having grown rich in the insights of thinkers like Althusser, Barthes and Derrida, has also moved beyond them. What kind of new, fresh thinking does this new era demand? Eagleton concludes that cultural theory must start thinking ambitiously again - not so that it can hand the West its legitimation, but so that it can seek to make sense of the grand narratives in which it is now embroiled.

Recensione:
L'autore:
'Showily, and wittily, Eagleton yearns for a species of salvation or transcendence from cultural theories' Prospect
'...An original thinker whose passion and zest for life, and writing, remain, after years in the famously desiccating groves of academe, undiminished' the Independent Magazine
'After Theory's huge achievement is to show just how formidable a presence the Marxist cultural critic can be, even here in the thronged and dismaying universe of Bush, Blair, Derrida and the celebrated M Jean Baudrilland' Independent on Sunday
Terry Eagleton is Professor of Cultural Theory at Manchester University. His books include Literary Theory, a trilogy on Irish culture, a novel, several plays, the screenplay for Derek Jarman's film Wittgenstein, and an autobiography, The Gatekeeper (Penguin 2001).

Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Today the barriers between high and low culture have crumbled and academics study soap operas as well as sonnets. But does our obsession with 'culture' mean we have overlooked the things that really matter? Can we still be politically engaged in today's free-wheeling, postmodern, consumer era? Terry Eagleton's acclaimed Literary Theory established him as one of the leading cultural theorists of the Left. Now, he argues, the age of theory is over. It is time to urgently re-engage with the essential truths that postmodernism has denied - love, evil, death, morality, metaphysics, religion and revolution - as they matter today more than ever. Describes that cultural theory must start thinking ambitiously - not so that it can hand the West its legitimation, but so that it can seek to make sense of the grand narratives in which it is embroiled.
