Feminism & Queer Theory (Kristeva, Cixous; phallologocentrism; anti-Oedipal; "compulsory heterosexuality"; politics of difference) In choosing the selections the editors have been guided by a range of criteria. We have looked ,for readable and teachable texts that reflect the scope of the history of theory ..This dO,es not mean, however, that challenging and difficult texts are missing. We have favored complete works and selfcontained excerpts; snippets are the exception. Yet in a number of cases we have edited texts to focus on topics germane to the field and to save time, space for'other selections, and the energy of readers. We have sought out the best editions and translations; for Plato, Aristotle, Longinus, Kant, and Hegel, we introduce new, highly regarded translations. From the outset we have fol1owed the practice that no figure or selection could make it into the anthology without the agreement of at least half the editors. We have also made quite a few selections with an eye topai,ring or triangulating-for example, we chose the famous closing section on writing from Plato's Phaedrus, having in mind Derrida's landmark critique of that text in his Dissemination. When they occur, such fruitful counterpoints are indicated in the headnotes and in the Alternative Table of Contents. Of course, innumerable combinations and permutations are possible, and our accounts cannot be exhaustive. But we have noted typographically all cross-references in the headnotes and footnotes by putting in ~mall capitals the names of theorists and critics appearing in the anthology. While we have privileged standard works and contemporary classics of theory, we have also sought to resurrect forgotten texts and to discover overlooked gems; We believe you will be pleasantly surprised. . The Selected Bibliography of Theory a~d Criticism at the end of the anthology is the most comprehensive one in existence, containing works through the close of the twentieth century. It lists leading English-language sources in six main categories: Theory and Criticism Bibliographies; Anthologies of Theory and Criticism; Histories of Criticism and Theory; specialized Glossaries, Encyclopedias, and Handbooks; Introductions and Guides; and Modern and Contemporary Critical Schools and Movements. We have divided the three longest of these parts into convenient subcategories: into historical period in the lists both of anthologies and of histories ofcriticism and into sixteen autonomous profiles in the schools and movements section. To make the bibliography of schools and movements most useful to students, we have organized and briefly annotated the sources in short essa)'Sl"rather than lists, presenting each of the sixteen profiles in a five-paragraph format: (1) groundbreaking texts; (2) introductions, overviews, and histories; (3) anthologies and readers; (4) school- or movement-specific reference works (handbooks, dictionaries, encyclopedias, etc.); and (5) "crossover texts." This last category attests to the increasing frequency with which contemporary works of theory are not limited to one or two domains of influence. It can be argued that in recent years many of the most innovative writings have been hybrid, crossover texts, mixing and matching strands from numerous schools and movements, and we have sought to illustrate this significant trend judiciously. In putting this anthology together, we have faced a number of challenges. One difficulty was coping with the impossibility of including every significant theorist. Our original list of 250 figures had to be shortened to 148: even a very long book such as this one imposes limits. A few of the lengthiest selections-by Longinus, John Dryden, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and Adrienne Rich, for instance-had to be trimmed, and each editor had favorite figures The "Uncanny" 929 Fetishism 952 FERDINAND DE SAUSSURE (1857-1913) 956 Course in General Linguistics 960 Introduction 960 Chapter III.

This revealing fault Hne that divides traditionalist literary critics from large numbers of contemporary theorists is perhaps today's version of the old Renaissance and neoclassical battles between the ancients and the moderns. The Table of Contents list figures and texts in chronological order. An Alternative Table of Contents recasts the 'chronological order, providing lists of figures in four categories commonly used iii studying theory: schools and movements; major genres; historical periods; and key issues and topics. Additional ways of organizing the history and subject matter of theory and criticism are possible; the Alternative Table of Contents is meant to be suggestive and not comprehensive. Other figures in the anthology could he included in the existing categories. We decided against combining proponents and opponents in the popular schools and movements categories,. as is sometimes done. Thus, for example, neither Leon Trotsky nor ·Mikhail Bakhtin appear under "Formalism" as its most celebrated critics. To list together antagonists and advocates would have created confusion and urtduly multiplied the number of figures in our categories. Within each school and movement, of course, readers will encounter differences and disputes. One of the risks of the categories we employ in the Alternative Table of Contents is that their groupings of figures and topics from different periods and moments unavoidably deemphasize historical conflicts, evolution, and differences. That .noted, the editors hope our readers find the Alternative Table of Contents suggestive and useful. Many ways of configuring !;he materials in the anthology are outlined in M. Keith Booker's manual for instructors, Teaching with "The Norton Anthology oJ Theory and Criticism"; A Guide for Instructors, a rich source of planning options, classroom 'strategies, and examination and discussion questions. The Introduction to Theory and Criticism that follows the two Tables of Contents consists of fifteen brief, semiautono.moussections that introduce students to the field of theory through its main historical periods, its major modern .and contemporary schools and movements, its perennial issues and problems, and its key terms. We are aware of no source offering students II quicker, more wide-ranging, or more lucid bird's-eye view of the history and nature of the ·field. Sections have been subtitled for easy reference in making assignments and in following the trajectory of the discussion. Each selection in the anthology is fully annotated so that students may focus on the texts and not have to consult reference sources for basic information. Headnotes to. each figure cover a range of topics. To begin with, they provide helpful biographical information and historical background. They discuss' sources and critical receptions as well as the relevance of the selections for theoretical questions. They highlight each selection's main arguments, where necessary definihg key terms and concepts and pointing out related perennial problems in the field. They regularly refer to other works by the authors and note problems identified by later critics. They position the authors in relation to other figures in the anthology, picturing the history of theory not as a string of isolated pearls but as a mosaic in which each work fits into larger frames of ongoing discussions and arguments. Finally, an annotated selected bibliography is given for each figure, covering main texts and editions, biographical sources (when available), the best secondary sources and criticism, and bibliographies related to the author's works (where available).
