It builds on the idea that theory is historically constituted as it is “always becoming something else” as Leslie Fiedler claimed in the 1950s, arguing that the historical constitution of theory relies on theory’s procedural nature. In order to assess theory’s procedural challenge to the fundamental notions that all the disciplines within an \u003cem\u003eepisteme \u003c\/em\u003ehave brought to the fore, it addresses these questions: What are the procedures theory has relied on? Are they a secret to its resistance, or is resistance its primary procedure? And if so, a resistance to what? Secondly, if resistance were theory’s principal vehicle, at which point does resistance, conceptualized only procedurally (as \u003cem\u003eresisting \u003c\/em\u003esomething, \u003cem\u003equestioning \u003c\/em\u003eanything, \u003cem\u003ecriticizing \u003c\/em\u003ewhatever), display hallmarks of a disciplinary closure that must call for new resistances, and perhapsfor a fundamentally another kind? The book turns to what theory \u003cem\u003edoes \u003c\/em\u003ein order to avoid a partial answer to what theory \u003cem\u003eis\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2024-03-15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783031493850\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-031-49386-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 373\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46035644973196,"sku":"9783031493850","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031493850.jpg?v=1776091392","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783031493850","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
