Discipline and practice

Stefan Herbrechter, Ivan Callus

"In their introduction, the editors consider the implications of theory having acquired a presence in the university that exerts a disciplining force upon it, houses it in "centers," and makes it another "subject" for which one can get grades and marks." "The editors have brought together original essays by some leading figures within theory who believe that these are urgent issues, and who have themselves played a formative and even founding role in university departments whose curricula have sought to integrate the study of "theory" with "critical practice.""--Jacket.
