is a critical collection focusing on the intersections of art, history, literature, philosophy, and theory. It is this fifth term, âtheory,â that marked the volumeâs significance during the early 1980sâa time of heightened conflict over the newly emerging role of âtheoryâ in the humanities. As Stephen G. Nichols notes in his new preface, â[s]ince so much poststructuralist thought has focused on representation, it was natural, if not inevitable, for scholars involved in the project to turn to mimesis, representation as imitation, for a concept that bridged the historical and the contemporary.â This, of course, has not been the first time that mimesis has played a key role in âbridgingâ an intellectual divide. The onto-theological dimension of Medieval thought brings together the Judeo-Christian Creator and the Platonic-Aristotelian metaphysics of Being as just one instance of the importance of mimesis in conjoining philosophical divisions. From Eugene Vanceâs exploration of Augustineâs metaphysics to Timothy J. Reissâs discussion of representation and modern political theory, offers a truly interdisciplinary and wide-ranging historical inquiry into a foundational concept in the arts, literature, and philosophy. First published in an era in which âtheoryâ was portrayed as the antithesis of humanistic study, this collection provides a necessary account of a new synthesis of the humanities and theoretical inquiry. With the persisting tensions within the humanities now over the future of theory, recaptures a critical element in this long debate, providing a sophisticated analysis of mimesis and demonstrating a unique theoretical method of scholarship.
