Title: Traveling theory
Description: "The notion of traveling theory, which is central to this volume, was first developed by Edward Said. His perceptive remarks on traveling theory, or rather the effects of traveling on theory, inform our approach to the French-American dialogue. The volume assesses the impact of post-1968 French thought on the American world of learning in the 1970s and 1980s, and considers the various ways in which American academics have appropriated, modified, or enhanced the French cultural heritage."--BOOK JACKET.
