              ‘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
