Undisciplined Theory
- Gary Genosko - University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT)
Sociological Theory
The book contains rigorous and original analyses of the writings of Baudrillard, Deleuze, Guattari, McLuhan, Freud and St Augustine. The author uses these materials to point the way to credible forms of undisciplined theory. Three tasks emerge as urgent issues for social theory: the need to think and feel ambivalence; to track the circulation of anomalies in theoretical texts; and to learn from the fascination with interpretative boundlessness.
`Stimulating and enjoyable... in particular with regard to the overall organization of a few central themes: ambivalence, the bestiary, the in-between and the shift from un- to indisciplined theory' - Joost van Loon, Nottingham Trent University
