Theoretical Inquiry: Language, Linguistics, and LiteratureYale University Press, 2008 M10 1 - 288 páginas div In the aftermath of debate about the death of literary theory, Austin E.

Theory can thrive, he argues, only if we understand how it can be strategically deployed to reveal what it does not presuppose. This involves the repositioning of theoretical inquiry relative to historical and critical inquiry and the repositioning of theories relative to each other. |
