*Series Information*

Often defined by the term ‘auto-theory’, recent shifts in cultural 
theory have seen a move to self-reflexivity, creative and hybrid texts, 
the polemic and the memoir as a way to write theory into the fabrics of 
everyday life. These phenomena include new forms of feminist writing, 
such as those embodied by recent black, immigrant and indigenous 
feminist works, and new genres of queer fiction and non-fiction. What 
this means for the politics of everyday life remains however 
unaddressed. Where does theory go? What is the constituency? How does it 
circulate? What might be its political effects? And why is auto-theory 
one of the few forms of theory that is still acceptable to the literary 
and cultural mainstream nowadays?
