Inhaltsangabe

Interdisciplinary essays on the role of high theory in politics and popular culture.

Interdisciplinary in scope and often provocative in their choice of materials, the essays in this volume present new strategies for theorizing culture and politics. Not content simply to "apply" theory to political and cultural objects, they instead treat all three as complex, interconnected, and constantly evolving areas of inquiry. Drawn from the innovative work originally published in Strategies: Journal of Theory, Culture and Politics, the essays collected here explore a variety of topics, ranging from considerations of Marx, Foucault, Jameson, and Rorty to investigations of Madonna, Pasolini, pornography, and vampires. Lively and inventive, Strategies for Theory goes beyond conventional cultural studies and cultural politics in order to suggest new approaches to both.

Contributors include Teresa Brennan, William Chaloupka, Iain Chambers, Kelly Dennis, Ernesto Laclau, John P. Leavey Jr., Bradley J. Macdonald, Marilyn Manners, Donald Preziosi, Kriss Ravetto, Laurence A. Rickels, R. L. Rutsky, Michael Ryan, Keith Topper, Gregory L. Ulmer, and Samuel Weber.
