Theory After 'Theory'
This volume argues that theory, far from being dead, has undergone major shifts in order to come to terms with the most urgent cultural and political questions of today.Offering an overview of theory’s new directions, this groundbreaking collection includes essays on affect, biopolitics, biophilosophy, the aesthetic, and neoliberalism, as well as examinations of established areas such as subaltern studies, the postcolonial, and ethics. Influential figures such as Agamben, Badiou, Arendt, Deleuze, Derrida and Meillassoux are examined in a range of contexts.Gathering together some of the top thinkers in the field, this volume not only speculates on the fate of theory but shows its current diversity, encouraging conversation between divergent strands.Each section places the essays in their contexts and stages a comparison between different but ultimately related ways in which key thinkers are moving beyond poststructuralism. Contributors: Amanda Anderson, Ray Brassier, Adriana Cavarero, Eva Cherniavsky, Rey Chow, Claire Colebrook, Laurent Dubreuil, Roberto Esposito, Simon Gikandi, Martin Hagglünd, Peter Hallward, Brian Massumi, Peter Osborne, Elizabeth Povinelli, William Rasch, Henry Staten, Bernard Stiegler, Eugene Thacker, Cary Wolfe, Linda Zerilli.

Code : From Information Theory to French Theory
In Code Bernard Dionysius Geoghegan reconstructs how Progressive Era technocracy as well as crises of industrial democracy and colonialism shaped early accounts of cybernetics and digital media by theorists including Norbert Wiener, Warren Weaver, Margaret Mead, Gregory Bateson, Claude Lévi-Strauss, Roman Jakobson, Jacques Lacan, Roland Barthes, and Luce Irigaray.His analysis casts light on how media-practical research forged common epistemic cause in programs that stretched from 1930s interwar computing at MIT and eugenics to the proliferation of seminars and laboratories in 1960s Paris.This mobilization ushered forth new fields of study such as structural anthropology, family therapy, and literary semiology while forming enduring intellectual affinities between the humanities and informatics.With Code, Geoghegan offers a new history of French theory and the digital humanities as transcontinental and political endeavors linking interwar colonial ethnography in Dutch Bali to French sciences in the throes of Cold War-era decolonization and modernization.

Intersection Theory
From the ancient origins of algebraic geometry in the solutions of polynomial equations, through the triumphs of algebraic geometry during the last two centuries, intersection theory has played a central role.The aim of this book is to develop the foundations of this theory, and to indicate the range of classical and modern applications.Although a comprehensive history of this vast subject is not attempted, the author points out some of the striking early appearances of the ideas of intersection theory.A suggested prerequisite for the reading of this book is a first course in algebraic geometry.Fulton's introduction to intersection theory has been well used for more than 10 years.It is still the only existing complete modern treatise of the subject and received the Steele Prize for best exposition in August 1996.

Extension Theory
The Ausdehnungslehre of 1862 is Grassmann's most mature presentation of his 'extension theory'.The work was unique in capturing the full sweep of his mathematical achievements.Compared to Grassmann's first book, ""Lineale Ausdehnungslehre"", this book contains an enormous amount of new material, including a detailed development of the inner product and its relation to the concept of angle, the 'theory of functions' from the point of view of extension theory, and Grassmann's contribution to the Pfaff problem.In many ways, this book is the version of Grassmann's system most accessible to contemporary readers.This translation is based on the material in Grassmann's ""Gesammelte Werke"", published by B.G.Teubner (Stuttgart and Leipzig, Germany). It includes nearly all the Editorial Notes from that edition, but the 'improved' proofs are relocated, and Grassmann's original proofs are restored to their proper places.The original Editorial Notes are augmented by Supplementary Notes, elucidating Grassmann's achievement in modern terms.This volume is one of an informal sequence of works within the ""History of Mathematics"" series.Volumes in this subset, 'Sources', are classical mathematical works that served as cornerstones for modern mathematical thought.

What are identity theory and competition theory?
Identity theory is a sociological perspective that focuses on how individuals develop and maintain a sense of self and identity through their interactions with others and their social environment. It emphasizes the importance of social roles, relationships, and cultural influences in shaping one's identity. Competition theory, on the other hand, is a perspective that examines how competition for resources, power, and status shapes social relationships and structures. It emphasizes the role of competition in driving social change, inequality, and conflict within societies. Both theories offer valuable insights into the ways in which individuals and societies are shaped by their social interactions and the broader social context.

Is the Big Bang Theory just a theory?
The Big Bang Theory is more than just a theory; it is a well-supported scientific model that explains the origin and evolution of the universe. It is supported by a wide range of observational evidence, such as the cosmic microwave background radiation and the redshift of galaxies. The theory has also made successful predictions about the abundance of light elements in the universe. While it is called a "theory," in scientific terms, a theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is based on a body of evidence. Therefore, the Big Bang Theory is a robust and widely accepted scientific explanation for the origin of the universe.
-
Why is the Two-Source Theory a theory?
The Two-Source Theory is considered a theory because it proposes a specific explanation for the literary relationship between the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. This theory suggests that Matthew and Luke used Mark's Gospel as a source, as well as another common source known as "Q" (from the German word "Quelle," meaning source). While the Two-Source Theory is widely accepted among biblical scholars, it is still a theory because it is based on scholarly analysis and interpretation of the textual similarities and differences between the Gospels, rather than definitive historical evidence.
-
Is the theory of evolution still a theory?
Yes, the theory of evolution is still considered a scientific theory. In scientific terms, a theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is based on a body of evidence. The theory of evolution is supported by a vast amount of evidence from various scientific disciplines, including genetics, paleontology, and comparative anatomy. It has undergone rigorous testing and scrutiny, and continues to be a foundational concept in the field of biology. Therefore, it is still considered a valid and widely accepted scientific theory.

Assemblage Theory
Manuel DeLanda provides the first detailed overview of the assemblage theory found in germ in Deleuze and Guattari's writings.Through a series of case studies, DeLanda shows how the concept can be applied to economic, linguistic, and military history as well as to metaphysics, science, and mathematics.DeLanda then presents the real power of assemblage theory by advancing it beyond its original formulation allowing for the integration of communities, institutional organizations, cities and urban regions. And he challenges Marxist orthodoxy with a Leftist politics of assemblages.

Conspiracy/Theory
In an era of intensified information warfare, ranging from global disinformation campaigns to individual attention hacks, what are the compelling terms for political judgment?How are we to build the knowledge needed to recognize and address important forms of harm when critical information is either not to be trusted or kept hidden?Rather than approach conspiratorial narrative as an irrational response to an obviously decipherable reality, Conspiracy/Theory identifies important affinities between conspiracy theory and critical theory.It recognizes the motivation people have—in their capacities as experts, theorists, and ordinary citizens—to search for patterns in events, to uncover what is covert and attend to dimensions of life that might be hiding in plain sight.If it seems strange that so many find themselves living in incommensurable, disorienting realities, the multidisciplinary contributors to Conspiracy/Theory explore how and why that came to be.Across history and geography, contributors inquire into the affects and imaginaries of political mobilization, tracking counterrevolutionary projects while acknowledging collective futures that demand conspiratorial engagement.

Which theory is applied in relation to South Korea: dependency theory or modernization theory?
In relation to South Korea, the modernization theory is more commonly applied. This theory suggests that countries develop and progress through stages of economic growth, technological advancement, and social change. South Korea is often cited as a successful example of modernization theory, as it rapidly transformed from a poor, agrarian society to a highly industrialized and technologically advanced nation in a relatively short period of time. Dependency theory, on the other hand, focuses on the idea that developing countries are exploited and kept in a state of underdevelopment by more powerful, industrialized nations.

What are the extremism theory and the horseshoe theory?
Extremism theory posits that extremist ideologies on opposite ends of the political spectrum share similar characteristics, such as intolerance, authoritarianism, and a willingness to use violence to achieve their goals. Horseshoe theory suggests that the far-left and far-right ideologies are more similar to each other than to the moderate center, forming a horseshoe shape where the extremes bend towards each other. Both theories highlight the potential for radical ideologies to converge in their methods and goals despite appearing to be ideologically opposed.

What do you prefer: boots or sandals?
I prefer boots because they provide more support and protection for my feet, especially in colder or wetter weather. Boots also offer more versatility in terms of styling and can be worn with a variety of outfits. Additionally, I find that boots are generally more comfortable for walking long distances or standing for extended periods of time.
