The Companion to Critical & Cultural Theory addresses the transformation of prominent fields in contemporary theory from diverse perspectives. It shows how controversies have shifted in the last couple of decades by providing new yet compelling insights from leading scholars. Two sections – Lineages & Problematics – make it easy to use for both newcomers as well as struggling researchers. Key movements are clearly explained, including relations to cultural, political as well as social issues, all part of a renewed debate since after WWII. While familiar topics such as labour, being, agency, knowledge remain topical, discussions that might not be always given due attention are offered here as well.
This Companion addresses the current transformation of critical theory and cultural studies, emphasising the ways in which debates have evolved in recent decades and how these changes affect cultural and social studies. The book features original essays by an international group of scholars who offer compelling new angles on theoretical enquiry, opening exciting new avenues for thought. Thoughtfully divided into two sections—Lineages and Problematics—it soothes the use of both newly enrolled students as well as diligent scholars and conducters of research. Focusing on key and esoteric approaches, as well as providing succinct characterisations of their locations in bigger picture trends within culture, society and politics, this Crew Companion introduces and specifies the shifts that have defined, fueled and engaged the field following the end of the Second World. Different topics that are still typical, yet under-explored in last hundred years, are extensively touched upon, including living and working, being and becoming, agency and being togetherlinked.
