Wikipedia:WikiProject Critical Theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1065 words) |
 | In the humanities and social sciences, critical theory is a general term for new theoretical developments (roughly since the 1960s) in a variety of fields, informed by structuralism, post-structuralism, deconstruction, Marxist theory, and several other areas of thought. |
| It encompasses many related developments in literary theory (which is often a rough synonym) and cultural studies, aesthetics, theoretical sociology and social theory, continental philosophy more generally. |
| I proposed what I think is a pretty standard critical theory definition of the term, based on a melding of Jameson and Lyotard, but another user insists on leaving the introduction the way it is, which doesn't make a lot of sense to me, and which I think confuses postmodernity with postmodernism. |
