Description
Alterities marks an advance to a new stage in critical theory. Dealing with literature from Shakespeare and Donne to Calvino; with philosophy from the medieval to the contemporary; with cinema from popular to art-film; and with political theory from Marx to Lyotard, Baudrillard, and Badiou. Thomas Docherty intervenes in all the major contemporary cultural debates to propose and practise a new criticism, whose theoretical foundations lie in a postmodern ethics, ecopolitics, and an austere attention to the radical difficulties of art.
