The future of deconstruction lies in the ability of its practitioners to mobilise the tropes and interests of Derrida's texts into new spaces and creative readings. This title sets out to do just that, to continue the task of deconstructive reading both with and without Derrida.

This book considers the relationship between theory and practice in creative acts. In particular it addresses the work of theorists who also create and makers who have an avowed relation to theory.

Roland Barthes was one of the most influential thinkers of the twentieth century. In this new book, Martin McQuillan provides students with a fresh and stimulating perspective on Barthes' work, his lasting contribution to the formation of critical cultural studies and his continuing relevance today.
