Reviews
"Marvelously lucid, joyful, and rigorous, Theory's Autoimmunity relaunches the impulse to theorize across a broad front, confronting the disastrous impulse to protectionist mastery, dislocating immunity from itself through subtle acts of reading. Zalloua's book should be essential reading for any course in theory. But beyond that, in its militant advocacy of theory's 'hysteria,' its skeptical voice, it is existentially and intellectually vital." --Patrick ffrench, author of After Bataille: Sacrifice, Exposure, Community "Zahi Zalloua's provocative, timely, and delightfully readable Theory's Autoimmunity argues that theory, far from a vestigial practice, is perhaps more necessary now than ever" --T. J. Martinson, symploke "In this trenchant and vigorously argued book, Zahi Zalloua mounts a defence of theory and gives a compelling account of its specificity in relation to knowledge discourses in general and those of the literary and critical humanities in particular." --Ian James, French Studies, "Theory's Autoimmunity intervenes brilliantly in the field of postcritical theory. By cutting a swath through ideology critiques, object-oriented ontologies, and subjectless realisms, Zalloua demonstrates that theory flourishes by being at odds with itself." --Jean-Michel Rabaté, author of Crimes of the Future: Theory and its Global Reproduction, "Marvelously lucid, joyful, and rigorous, Theory's Autoimmunity relaunches the impulse to theorize across a broad front, confronting the disastrous impulse to protectionist mastery, dislocating immunity from itself through subtle acts of reading.

Synopsis
Zahi Zalloua's Theory's Autoimmunity is a multidisciplinary work of philosophy and critical theory that argues for reclaiming theory's skepticism as a value., Engaging scholars from across humanistic fields grappling with the role and value of theory in our times, Theory's Autoimmunity argues for reclaiming theory's skepticism as a value. To cultivate theory's skeptical impulses is to embrace what Jacques Derrida has termed autoimmunity : a condition of openness to the outside--openness of the self, the community, democracy, or other ideals--that allows for change. Openness to change comes with risks, and the self-protective temptation to immunize oneself or one's community against these risks is strong. Yet without such risks, without openness to otherness, no encounter with the new, with difference, can ever take place. Without autoimmunity, theory becomes stagnant and programmatic, unable to receive and respond to the other or the event, to address, revise, and produce new meanings. Taking up the challenge of thinking theory as skepticism, with and against philosophy, this study turns to literature as an interlocutor, investigating the ways theory, like the literary works of Montaigne, Baudelaire, Stendhal, Morrison, or Duras, declines to put on the interpretive brakes, to stop reading at a point of understanding. Undoing and remaking itself, theory--those critical interpretive practices that revel in the creation and proliferation of meaning--becomes autoimmune., Engaging scholars from across humanistic fields grappling with the role and value of theory in our times, Theory's Autoimmunity argues for reclaiming theory's skepticism as a value.

- u***u (723)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaCarefully packaged book- arrived wrapped in plastic bag and shipped in cardboard box. As a frequent book buyer I appreciate this as so many books are just crammed into a plastic shopping bag and sent on their way- sometimes always hanging out of the bag. I know that Midtown Book Seller books will arrive as described. Shipped promptly. I’d highly recommend them as a seller.
- 9***n (325)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaExcellent experience with this eBay used book seller! The books arrived in perfect condition, as described, and their pristine condition exceeded my expectations. What impressed me most was the speed of shipping: the book arrived much earlier than expected. Furthermore, the packaging was careful and professional, ensuring the book arrived undamaged. Thanks a lot! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
- c***i (102)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaBook was in very good condition as described in the listing. It looked almost new, in fact, but the pages did have some yellowing around the edges, a sign of its age. The seller did an excellent job of wrapping and packing the book for shipment, which I greatly appreciate! He has earned his 100% feedback rating, I'd say. I'm extremely pleased with the seller and this transaction. Thank you!
