<span style="margin:0px;font-family:"Calibri Light", sans-serif;color:black">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></p>
