Opis: Elegy for Theory - D. N. Rodowick

Rhetorically charged debates over theory have divided humanities scholars for decades. Rodowick steps back from arguments pro and con to assess why theory has become such a deeply contested concept. Far from lobbying for a return to the "high theory" of the 1980s, he calls for dialogue on an ethically inflected philosophy of the humanities. Rodowick s project is not merely to make yet another intervention in the often rhetorically-charged debates in favor of or against theory that have occupied, divided, and haunted scholars across the humanities in the last decades. Instead, he opens the space for a historical, intellectual, and philosophical journey in quest of the senses of theory that is simultaneously an ethical and political commitment to a specific vision of what the humanities are and should continue to be in the twenty-first century.--Paola Marrati, Johns Hopkins University"
