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.
