After Theory: Politics & Theory

3 credits

Theory and practise often become the opposition between theory and politics where theory is reproached for not being sufficiently political. This course looks at the political relevance of efficacy of theory. It examines the reasons for theoretical resistance, and studies the emergence of Cultural Studies. *Note: This course is intended for ENGL Honours students.
