In this account of some of the central concepts in modern life and thought, Professor Jay investigates how language cannot fail to change and mediate experience. The topics he treats range from "theory" and "experience" to the meaning of "multiculturalism" and the dynamic of "cultural subversion", and among the thinkers he engages are Bataille, Foucault, Adorno, Walter Benjamin and Lyotard.
