style="color:black;font-family:Calibri Light,sans-serif;">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>
