Autotheories
A transdisciplinary array of authors offering a new frame of reference for autotheory and its genre-bending synthesis of autobiography and critical theory. Autotheories tells the story of a field in formation.

Transgressing generic boundaries and bridging stylistic r…

Aarthi Vadde's Chimeras of Form: Modernist Internationalism beyond Europe, 1914–2016 grafts its signature terms together to reconsider the phenomenon known as high modernism, deftly anatomized through a reading of James Joyce, as part and parcel of an always already anticolonial, globally connected, and formally heterogeneous mode. Modernism's long reach encompasses Rabindranath Tagore's early twentieth-century auto-translated poetry and prose, C…

Naipaul, to a video installation and essay by the South African artist William Kentridge, to the critical study of the Indian Ocean world. Traversi…
