In French Theory, chapter 13, “Worldwide Theory: A Global Legacy,” Francois Cusset discusses a new kind of mix “unhindered by borders.” Quoting the final sentences: “…a zone formed completely of interstices, within which, far from the guardians of the Work, texts themselves will be put to work. They will embed themselves along various paths, will tattoo the body, will invest practices, and will bring together new communities. It is within such an interval that the invention of French theory began to play out in the United States around the beginning of the 1980s; this interval is still open, and in this open space it has kept its strength intact.” (Cusset p338)
