Zusammenfassung

The golden age of cultural theory (a product which grew from 1965 to 1980) is past. Eagleton argues 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 embroiled.

After Theory Zusammenfassung

After Theory Terry Eagleton

In his new intervention on cultural theory, Eagleton argues that the age of "high" theory has come to a close, and offers a candid assessment of its gains and losses, claiming that it has been silent or evasive about a whole range of vital topics such as love, evil, death, morality, metaphysics, religion and revolution. The book investigates these subjects in accessible, entertaining style, concluding with the dramatic suggestion that postmodernism might now be at an end.

After Theory Bewertungen
