Privileging Difference

In this study of the significance and foregrounding of the concept of difference in contemporary, critical, literary and cultural theory, Antony Easthope examines critically and polemically the various articulations of difference and the changes between concepts and theories of difference. Easthope offers close textual analyses of the foremost theorists of the current generation including Edward Said, Homi Bhabha, Donna Haraway, Rosi Braidotti, Judith Butler, Terry Eagleton, Slavoj Zizek, Jacques Lacan and Jacques Derrida.
