Have Doubts Regarding This Product ? Ask Your Question

  • Q1
    Is this book "Kailash Critical Theory 2" the latest edition and fully aligned with the current Panjab University M.A. Semester IV syllabus?
    A1

    Yes, this book by Gupta and Mann is specifically compiled and updated to match the prescribed syllabus for Panjab University's M.A. Semester IV, Paper XIV (Compulsory).

  • Q2
    Does the book contain the full original essays by theorists like Hayden White and Judith Butler, or is it a commentary?
    A2

    This is a critical guide and commentary. It provides detailed summaries, analyses, and explanations of the key essays listed in the syllabus, not the full original texts. Students should use it alongside the primary readings.

  • Q3
    I find Judith Butler's concept of gender performativity very challenging. How does this book explain it?
    A3

    The book breaks down "Performative Acts and Gender Constitution" into clear subsections like "Gender Performativity," "Psychosocial Limitations," and "The Compulsory Order of Sex/Gender/Desire," using accessible language and contextual examples to simplify this complex theory.

  • Q4
    Are the important technical terms like "hegemony," "hybridity," and "metahistory" clearly defined within the chapters?
    A4

    Absolutely. Key theoretical terms are bolded and explained within the context of each theorist's work, making it an excellent tool for building a strong conceptual vocabulary.

  • Q5
    Does the section on Aijaz Ahmad only present his views, or does it also explain Fredric Jameson's "Third-World Literature" theory that he critiques?
    A5

    The unit thoughtfully provides context for Jameson's argument before delving into Ahmad's critique, ensuring students understand the debate's contours regarding "Three World Theory" and the "politics of literary postcoloniality."

  • Q6
    Is there any biographical information on the theorists included?
    A6

    Yes, each unit begins with a "Life and Works" section, offering a brief intellectual biography of the theorist (Hayden White, Raymond Williams, etc.), which is often required in exam answers.

  • Q7
    How is the unit on Homi Bhabha's "mimicry" useful for understanding contemporary postcolonial issues?
    A7

    The book links Bhabha's concepts of mimicry, ambivalence, and hybridity to broader discussions on multiculturalism and colonial discourse, showing their relevance beyond purely literary analysis.

  • Q8
    Can this book be used by students from universities other than Panjab University who are studying these theorists?
    A8

    Certainly. While tailored for Panjab University, the comprehensive coverage of these five major theorists makes it a valuable supplementary resource for any postgraduate student of modern literary and cultural theory.

  • Q9
    Is the treatment of Raymond Williams's "Dominant, Residual, and Emergent" connected to practical cultural analysis?
    A9

    Yes, the book explains these categories not just as abstract theory but as tools for analyzing cultural change, linking them to Williams's broader project in Cultural Materialism and Marxist theory.

  • Q10
    What is the physical quality of the book (paper, binding) like, as it is from Pepsu Book Depot?
    A10

    As a standard academic paperback from a reputed educational publisher, it is designed for durability and regular use, featuring clear printing and sturdy binding suitable for students.
