Product Description
Review
"Still a troubleshooting force in areas of thinking and artistic endeavor, French Theory is an object of fascination and phobic anxiety. Sylvere Lotringer--to whom we owe a debt of thanks for organizing the most subversive incursion of theory in America--together with Sande Cohen, has put together an outstanding collection of essays that interrogates the boundaries and territorialities of contemporary thought. Stripped of its French passport and equipped with fake American IDs, "French Theory" belongs, finally, to no recognizable national entity and cannot be reduced to an identity politics. Even as it morphs into familiar locutions and forms, it remains resolutely difficult, dense, exhilarating and defiant, at once responsible to the past and bravely forward-looking."

Product Description
What is theory doing in America? Does high French theory continue to be a significant force in American intellectual life? This volume of new work presents both discussions of these questions and demonstrations of what French theory looks like today, thirty years after its first appearance.

Perhaps this time I will add an English subtitle to my French title, which Tom Bishop just pronounced for this conference whose posters have advertised, with a remarkable painting by May Tansey, that it would be given in French. Read the first page

I Remember The 80's
28 Feb 2002
Format:Paperback
When a song by Ratt or late-period Journey comes on the car radio, do you roll down the window and pump your fist in the air? If you do, you'll probably do the the same thing with this book. It's all about the good old days, back when shoulder pads were huge and journals like "October" really meant something. But unlike "October," Frech Theory never dies -- it just glistens with more and more nostalga. And like any good hard rock ballad, this book is dripping with more nostalga than a freshly glazed donut. But you were expecting this, right? It had to be done with Frenchness -- just letting it sit there and get more stale would have been so... unglazed.
