Covering all key theories and theorists, this book looks at the relation of theory to form, discourses, subjectivity, media and networks, and environments. Organized thematically, Engagements with Contemporary Literary and Critical Theory illuminates the field by focusing on the concepts and methodologies of key thinkers, while also providing historical introductions that contextualize the latest developments with regard to forms; discourses; subjectivities and embodiments; media, networks, and machines; and animals, affects, objects, and environments. Each chapter includes examples from a canonical novel, a contemporary text, and a new media artefact, while textboxes regularly introduce additional emerging or overlooked theorists of interest. An ideal guide for undergraduates studying literary theory, this book will give readers the background they need to continue their own fruitful explorations of this vibrant field of study"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Evan Gottlieb is Professor of English at Oregon State University, USA Online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on November 27, 2019) Subject Literature -- History and criticism -- Theory, etc. -- 21st century Critical theory -- History -- 21st century Criticism -- History -- 21st century Literature -- Philosophy -- 21st century LITERARY CRITICISM -- General.
