520 $a"The purpose of art, according to the artist Banksy, is to comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable. The purpose of that creative practice called "theory" is to disturb everyone--to perpetually unsettle all our staid assumptions, all our fixed understandings, all our familiar identities. Adventures in Theory: A Compact Anthology brings together a number of essential writings that have famously enacted the central purpose of theory. An alternative to the conventional unwieldy theory anthology, Adventures in Theory offers a manageably short collection of critical statements crucial to the understanding of theory. It presents a relatively brief but steadily unsettling tour, spanning the most significant thought-provocations in the history of theoretical wiring from Marx and Nietzsche through Foucault and Derrida to Butler, Zizek, and Edelman. Engagingly lean and enjoyably mean, Adventures in Theory is a minimalist anthology with maximal pedagogical impact"--$cProvided by publisher.
