Description

Product Description Introducing readers to a new theory of 'responsible reading', this book presents a range of perspectives on the contemporary relationship between modernism and theory. Using an innovative format of essay and response, it promotes conversation among disparate views under a shared commitment to 'responsible reading' practices. It questions the nature of the relationship between modernism and theory today and ask how we are to proceed if we wish to eschew the “strong” but have misgivings about the “weak”? Touching on areas as diverse as the recent surge in post-critique and/or affect studies; longer histories of theory, modernism, and critique; new ways of understanding the interplay between modernism and theory, the book draws out links to emerging concerns such as the Anthropocene, the post-human, and eco-theory. Above all, these essays articulate and model a method of “responsible reading”: a practice that reads generously and engages constructively, even where disagreement is inevitable, articulating a mode of ethical reading that is fundamental to ongoing debates about strength and weakness, paranoia and reparation, critique and affect. About the Author Stephen Ross is Professor of English and Cultural, Social, and Political Thought at the University of Victoria, Canada.
