The Oxford Dictionary of Critical Theory covers a wide range of critical theory disciplines, including the Frankfurt school, cultural materialism, gender studies, literary theory, hermeneutics, historical materialism, and sociopolitical critical theory. Entries clearly explain even the most complex of theoretical discourses, such as Marxism, psychoanalysis, structuralism, deconstruction, and postmodernism.
Inside there are also biographies of important figures in the field, with feature entries for those who have heavily influenced areas of the discipline. Covering all aspects of the subject from globalization and race studies, to queer theory and feminism, this multidisciplinary A-Z dictionary is essential for students of literary and cultural studies and useful for anyone studying a humanity subject requiring a knowledge of theory.
Also includes advanced search tools and features that have become the staple of quality Oxford reference apps from MobiSystems.
