About this book

Although alphabetically arranged, Glossalalia - An Alphabet of Critical Keywordsis not a conventional glossary or dictionary. It is an agenda-setting volume which speculates on the state of theory in the twenty-first century.

26 newly commissioned essays provide distinct, original sometimes playful or unusual definitions of theoretical keywords - both unexpected terms as well as words well-established in the critical canon:

Animality
Biotechnologies
Chora
Difference
Event
Flirting
Genetics
Hypertext
I
Jouissance
Knowledge
Love
Music
Nation
Origins
Poetics
Quilting
Reification
Schizoanalysis
Tele-techno-theology
Universals
Visuality
Wit
X
Yarn
Zero

The volume invites the reader to engage with and enjoy theory, to seek out connections and become aware of the process of critical thinking.

Anyone with theoretical interests in the humanities and in the future possibilities of theory will be delighted and intrigued by this volume.
