Dedicated to literary critic Bill Readings, the first essay, "For Theory," traces the vicissitudes of one of the most hotly contested keywords of our time, paying special attention to the often contradictory ways in which "theory" has been evoked by exponents or critics of its various usages. Other essays explore multiculturalism, the debate over Alltagsgeschichte , the limits of limit-experience, the dynamics of cultural subversion, the aesthetic alibi, mimesis and mimetology, the academic woman as performance artist, modernism and psychologism, postmodern paganism, and the manacles of Gavrilo Princip.
