"A powerful new examination of the performative that asks "what's next?" for this well-worn concept"
Jeffrey T. Nealon je profesorom angličtiny na Penn State University, ktorého práca skúma zložité vzťahy medzi teóriou a literárnou praxou. Jeho dielo sa často zameriava na postštrukturalistické a postmoderné myslenie, spochybňujúc tradičné spôsoby čítania a interpretácie. Nealonov prístup je analytický, s dôrazom na dekonštrukciu a etiku performatívnej subjektivity. Jeho publikácie ponúkajú hlboký pohľad na kritickú teóriu a jej vplyv na chápanie literatúry a identity.
