- Double-weighted statement
- This book is a substantial, extended and complex piece of research that dismantles the traditional divide between practice and theory in the Humanities. It is an in-depth examination of the nature of theory and its relation to contemporary university instruction and identity politics. It develops the concept of “sociography” as a tool to explore in different ways what difference context makes in grasping the nature of theory – context being neither obvious nor negligible. Research for the book was carried out on and off over a ten-year period. It necessitated the consultation of unpublished materials in multiple different archives.
