New Book: Confronting Theory

The psychology of cultural studies explored in new book by Philip Bell

About the book:

Confronting Theory presents a methodological (philosophical) and educational evaluation
and critique of what has come to be known as Theory (‘with a capital-T’) in
cross-disciplinary humanities education. Rather than merely dismissing Theory writing as
risibly pretentious and abstract, Confronting Theory examines its principal concepts
from the perspective of academic psychology and shows that, although ‘Theory that only
dogs can hear’ may sound like revolutionary psychological analysis it is frequently
incoherent and/or has few, if any, empirical implications that students can evaluate.
