Theory Conspiracy

Theory Conspiracy

Theory Conspiracy provides a state-of-the-art collection that takes stage on the meeting and/or battlegrounds between conspiracy theory and theory-asconspiracy. By deliberately scrambling the syntax—conspiracy theory cum theory conspiracy—it seeks to open a set of reflections on the articulation between theory and conspiracy that addresses how conspiracy might rattle the sense of theory as such. In this sense the volume also inevitably stumbles on the recent debates on postcritique. The suspicion that our ways of reading in the humanities have been far too suspicious if not paranoid has gained considerable attention in a humanities continuously questioned as superfluous at best and leftist and dangerous at worst. The chapters in this volume all approach this problematic from different angles. It features clear engaging writing by a set of contributors who have published extensively on questions of paranoia conspiracy theory and/or the state of theory today. This collection will appeal to readers interested in conspiracy theories critical theory and the future of humanities.

Why String Theory?

Why String Theory?

Physics World's 'Book of the Year' for 2016 An Entertaining and Enlightening Guide to the Who What and Why of String Theory now also available in an updated reflowable electronic format compatible with mobile devices and e-readers. During the last 50 years numerous physicists have tried to unravel the secrets of string theory. Yet why do these scientists work on a theory lacking experimental confirmation? Why String Theory? provides the answer offering a highly readable and accessible panorama of the who what and why of this large aspect of modern theoretical physics. The author a theoretical physics professor at the University of Oxford and a leading string theorist explains what string theory is and where it originated. He describes how string theory fits into physics and why so many physicists and mathematicians find it appealing when working on topics from M-theory to monsters and from cosmology to superconductors.

Archaeological Theory The Basics

Archaeological Theory The Basics

Archaeological Theory: The Basics is an accessible introduction to an indispensable part of what archaeologists do. The book guides the reader to an understanding of what theory is how it works and the range of theories used in archaeology. The growth of theory and the adoption of theories drawn from both the natural and social sciences have broadened our ability to produce trustworthy knowledge about the past. This book helps readers to see the value of archaeological theory and beyond what is sometimes thought to be just the use of indigestible jargon. Key theories and concepts are introduced to the reader. Among the main questions discussed are the following: What is theory and why do we need it? What major areas of theory are and have been used and debated in archaeology? What do they tell us about themes including human society evolution culture identity and agency? How might archaeological theory change in the future? This book is written mainly for readers new to archaeology and will help them to understand archaeological theory. It assumes no prior knowledge of archaeological theory and presents it in a selective and clear way with case studies showing how theory is used in practice. | Archaeological Theory The Basics

Political Theory

Political Theory

First published in 1956 Political Theory explores the historical development of political ideas and analyses some basic concepts of contemporary political theory including the notions of the State of Sovereignty and the Law. The book is based on lectures in Political Theory given by the author G. C. Field in the universities at which he taught. It opens by considering the development of political ideas by providing an overview of the ideas current at the time of original publication in comparison to the ideas of earlier ages. It then progresses into a more detailed discussion of specific political theories. It will appeal to those with an interest in the history of political thought and developments in political theory.

Fundamentals of Ramsey Theory

Fundamentals of Ramsey Theory

Ramsey theory is a fascinating topic. The author shares his view of the topic in this contemporary overview of Ramsey theory. He presents from several points of view adding intuition and detailed proofs in an accessible manner unique among most books on the topic. This book covers all of the main results in Ramsey theory along with results that have not appeared in a book before. The presentation is comprehensive and reader friendly. The book covers integer graph and Euclidean Ramsey theory with many proofs being combinatorial in nature. The author motivates topics and discussion rather than just a list of theorems and proofs. In order to engage the reader each chapter has a section of exercises. This up-to-date book introduces the field of Ramsey theory from several different viewpoints so that the reader can decide which flavor of Ramsey theory best suits them. Additionally the book offers: A chapter providing different approaches to Ramsey theory e. g. using topological dynamics ergodic systems and algebra in the Stone-Čech compactification of the integers. A chapter on the probabilistic method since it is quite central to Ramsey-type numbers. A unique chapter presenting some applications of Ramsey theory. Exercises in every chapter The intended audience consists of students and mathematicians desiring to learn about Ramsey theory. An undergraduate degree in mathematics (or its equivalent for advanced undergraduates) and a combinatorics course is assumed. TABLE OF CONENTS Preface List of Figures List of Tables Symbols 1. Introduction 2. Integer Ramsey Theory 3. Graph Ramsey Theory 4. Euclidean Ramsey Theory 5. Other Approaches to Ramsey Theory 6. The Probabilistic Method 7. Applications Bibliography Index Biography Aaron Robertson received his Ph. D. in mathematics from Temple University under the guidance of his advisor Doron Zeilberger. Upon finishing his Ph. D. he started at Colgate University in upstate New York where he is currently Professor of Mathematics. He also serves as Associate Managing editor of the journal Integers. After a brief detour into the world of permutation patterns he has focused most of his research on Ramsey theory. | Fundamentals of Ramsey Theory

Translation and Travelling Theory Feminist Theory and Praxis in China

Translation and Travelling Theory Feminist Theory and Praxis in China

Research has shown that feminist theory has flowed far more easily from North to South and from West to East wheras travel in other directions has proved almost non-existent. While the hegemony of US feminist theory has been challenged in Europe for example there remain many ‘invisible’ discursive trajectories that link the development of feminist theories and movements across the world. This book brings together and engages with theories of globalisation transnational feminism travelling theory and cultural translation exploring the travelling routes of feminist theory and practice to China over recent decades. With attention to the crucial questions of why and how knowledge travels or fails to travel the forms that it takes and by whom it is sent received understood translated or even refused the author examines the development and activities of different groups of women and women’s organisations in China thus developing an alternative form of travelling theory. A study of the cross-cultural translation of knowledge and practices that occur or fail to occur when different cultures interact and their impact this book will appeal to scholars of gender studies sociology and cultural studies with interests in feminist thought and the travel and production of knowledge. | Translation and Travelling Theory Feminist Theory and Praxis in China

Developing Grounded Theory The Second Generation Revisited

Developing Grounded Theory The Second Generation Revisited

Developing Grounded Theory: The Second Generation Revisited is a highly accessible description of the rapid development of grounded theories and the latest developments in grounded theory methods. A succinct overview of the development of grounded theory is provided including the similarities and differences between Glaserian and Straussian grounded theory. The method introduced by Schatzman and the development of Charmaz’s constructivist grounded theory and Clarke’s situational analysis are clearly presented. The book is divided into seven sections: each type of grounded theory is discussed by the developer (or their student) followed by a chapter describing a project that used that particular type of grounded theory. Bookending these chapters is the first chapter which describes the development and landscape of grounded theory and a final chapter describing the challenges to the future of grounded theory. This book is ideally suited for beginning students trying to come to grips with the field as well as more advanced researchers attempting to delineate the major types of grounded theory. | Developing Grounded Theory The Second Generation Revisited
