First published in 1997, this glossary is intended to be a guide into contemporary art theory and criticism of visual art and culture. It includes over 400 terms, many of which stem from interrelated discourses: feminist theory, film and photographic theory, literary theory, queer theory, discourse analysis, postcolonial and multiculturalist discourse, cultural studies, revisionist art history or new historicism, Marxist criticism, modernist art theory, postmodernist art and architecture, structuralist and poststructuralist semiotics (including deconstruction), psychoanalytic criticism, abjection, as well as a number of key terms from the writings of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari.

The terms are arranged alphabetically, as well as listed by topic. Contents of this glossary are cross-referenced.
