Since the Cold War's end and especially in the third millennium, theorists have been exploring the aftermath - and sometimes just the “after” - of whole paradigms, the crisis or “passing” of anthropocentrism, the twilight of an entire ontological and cultural “condition,” as well as the corresponding rise of an antagonist model, of an “anti,” “meta,” or “neo” alternative, with examples ranging from “posthumanism” and “post-postmodernism” to “post-aesthetics,” “postanalog” interpretation or “digicriticism,” “post-presentism,” “post-memory,” “post-“ or “neo-critique,” and so forth. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It is no coincidence, the contributors to this volume argue, that this “post” moment is also a time when theory is practiced as a \u003ci\u003eworld genre\u003c\/i\u003e. If theory has always been a “worlded” enterprise, a quintessentially communal, cross-cultural and international project, this is truer at present than ever. Perhaps more than other humanist constituencies, today's theorists work and belong in a theory commons that is transnational if still uneven economically, politically, and otherwise. \u003ci\u003eTheory in the \"Post\" Era \u003c\/i\u003ereports the results of Romanian theory experiments that join efforts made in other places to foster a theory for the “post” age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56007096795510,"sku":"9781501381973","price":31.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_35045371.jpg?v=1753758608","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781501381973-theory-in-the-post-era","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
