The practical application of theory as a pedagogical aid has yet to be fully addressed. The Practice of Theory, examines the connection between theory and pedagogy at the level of practice and offers a sustained reflection on the production of knowledge across a range of contemporary disciplines.

Michael Bernard-Donals explores the ambivalence underlying the language theories of Mikhail Bakhtin, and the mirroring difficulties experienced by antifoundationalist and materialist strands in literary scholarship. This book is a contextualized study of Bakhtin, a critique of contemporary criticism, and an original contribution to literary theory.
