windowtext;padding:0cm">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?</span></span><span
