Résumé

Addresses anxieties about theory and claims that it still has a crucial role to play. This book sketches its genealogy, particularly its relation to surrealism, philosophy, and the hard sciences. It proposes that theory, like hysteria, consistently points out the inadequacies of official, serious and 'masterful' knowledge.
