What's Left of Theory?: New Work on the Politics of Literary Theory by Judith P. Butler,

What's Left of Theory?: New Work on the Politics of Literary Theory by Judith P. Butler,
"For several years", write the editors of What's Left of Theory, "a debate on the politics of theory has been conducted energetically within literary studies. The terms of the debate, however, are far from clear. What is meant by politics? What is meant by theory?" What's Left of Theory is a vigorous engagement with that thorniest of critical questions: how today are theory and progressive thought connected? Michael Warner, activist and critic, examines 'zones of privacy and zones of theory' while law professor Janet Halley considers theory and its applicability to sex harassment. Jeff Nunokawa examines Oscar Wilde, Marjorie Levinson reads Elizabeth Bishop alongside National Geographic; John Brenkman considers 'extreme criticism', Michael Berube the 'future of contingency'; William Connolly addresses the matter of secularism, Gayatri Spivak explores what she calls 'theory-remains', and Jonathan Culler demonstrates once again his gift for explaining the complex in an essay that identifies 'the literary in theory'.

Literary theory - Literary theory is the theory (or the philosophy) of the interpretation of literature and literary criticism. Its history begins with classical Greek poetics and rhetoric and includes, since the 18th century, aesthetics and hermeneutics.

Semiotic literary criticism - Semiotic literary criticism, also called literary semiotics, is the approach to literary criticism informed by the theory of signs or semiotics. Semiotics, tied closely to the structuralism pioneered by Ferdinand de Saussure, was extremely influential in the development of literary theory out of the formalist approaches of the early twentieth century.

Reception theory - Reception Theory is a version of Reader Response literary theory that emphasizes the reader's reception of a literary text. It originated from the work of Hans-Robert Jauss in the late 1960s.

Queer literary interpretation - Queer literary interpretation is a method of literary interpretation stemming from Marxism, Feminism, and the gay rights movement. It is an addition to literary theory in the 1980s.
