About Theory and Criticism

Theory and Criticism is a journal for theoretical thought and critical study that appears twice a year in Hebrew. Since its founding in the early 1990s it has dealt with critical theory in local contexts. The articles that appear in it offer theoretical discussions and new forms of critique, and portray their demands from both scholarship and social praxis. They consider the fundamental questions of theory and criticism in light of the concrete changes in society—in Israel, with all its political and cultural issues, and elsewhere, from a comparative perspective and in a global context.
