- Maps out contemporary theory, tracing its complex configurations, its political preoccupations, and its relations with literature
- Explores the engagement of theory with such phenomena as globalization and postmodernism, multiculturalism and cultural wars, plus the rise of neoliberalism and the corporate university
- Highlights the current reconfiguration of critical reading and its potential future
