Theoretical Schools and Circles in the Twentieth-Century Humanities

This volume provides a new outlook on twentieth-century theoretical schools and movements in the humanities, both as generators of conceptual knowledge and as cultural phenomena. Offering a new perspective on unstudied or less studied groups, such as Tel Aviv School of poetics and semiotics or the research group Poetics and Hermeneutics, this book looks at what defined these schools and circles in their respective historical and institutional contexts, and traces how their dialogues and controversies resonate in the scholarly discourse in the 21st century.
