Inhalt :: Content

Internationales Standardreferenzwerk für Literatur-, Kultur- und Gesellschaftstheorie. Das historisch aus dem Johns Hopkins Guide to Literary Theory and Criticism hervorgegangene Werk enthält hunderte wissenschaftliche Beiträge zu einflussreichen Theoretikerinnen und Theoretikern, theoretischen Strömungen und zentralen Schlüsselbegriffen. Die einzelnen Beiträge werden von Fachexpertinnen und -experten verfasst und bieten eine historische Einordnung der jeweiligen Theorie, erklären zentrale Begriffe und enthalten umfangreiche Bibliografien von Primär- und Sekundärliteratur. Während der Schwerpunkt ursprünglich auf der Literaturkritik lag, deckt das Handbuch in seiner aktuellen Form auch angrenzende Disziplinen ab – darunter Cultural Studies, Critical Race Theory, Gender & Queer Studies, Postkolonialismus, Medien- und Filmtheorie sowie die Environmental Humanities. Updates: jährlich.

For more than three decades, the Johns Hopkins Guide to Literary Theory and Criticism has helped readers navigate the evolving landscape of theory. The current Johns Hopkins Guide to Critical and Cultural Theory continues that tradition for a new era, offering authoritative, accessible introductions to the concepts, debates, and thinkers that shape contemporary scholarship across the humanities and social sciences.

At a time when critical intellectual interventions are increasingly urgent and applicable to real-world phenomena, this fully online resource reflects the extraordinary expansion of cultural and critical theory across fields including anthropology, critical race studies, cultural studies, environmental humanities, gender studies, media studies, sociology, and others. From foundational figures and key movements to emerging concepts and areas of inquiry, the Guide maps the intellectual frameworks scholars use to understand meaning, power, culture, identity, and knowledge. Designed as a dynamic, continually updated reference work, the Guide helps readers trace connections across disciplines and follow ideas as they circulate through rapidly transforming scholarly and public conversations. Its extended entries provide historical context, conceptual clarity, and pathways for further exploration, making complex theoretical traditions approachable without sacrificing rigor.

Whether used by students encountering these theories for the first time, researchers seeking a trusted reference, or curious readers interested in both contemporary and historical critical thought, the Johns Hopkins Guide to Critical and Cultural Theory offers an indispensable resource for understanding many of the most influential and far-reaching developments in modern intellectual life.
