Confronting Theory (eBook, ePUB)

The Psychology of Cultural Studies

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Confronting Theory presents a methodological (philosophical) and educational evaluation and critique of what has come to be known as Theory ('with a capital-T') in cross-disciplinary humanities education. Rather than merely dismissing Theory writing as risibly pretentious and abstract, Confronting Theory examines its principal concepts from the perspective of academic psychology and shows that, although 'Theory that only dogs can hear' may sound like revolutionary psychological analysis it is frequently incoherent and/or has few, if any, empirical implications that students can evaluate.
