The cards offer accessible guides to difficult-sounding ideas like 'structuration' and 'postmodernism'. Using technology developed by Adobe, creators of the Acrobat format, Theory.org.uk argued that collectors would be able to print out their own colour collectables. The first three cards feature the theorists Anthony Giddens , Judith Butler and Michel Foucault . The cards rate their subjects in terms of strengths, weaknesses and special skills, as well as offering a finely-honed outline of their key ideas.
Web links allow collectors to discover more about each theorist or concept.
