Thread: The humanities track

I made a similar post in the math section about math months ago, but I've also become curious as to what the different tracks are within the humanities. I know this must start out enormously general, but I'd like to understand where these general tracks lead to when they get furher and further on into more specific areas of study. Besides this, I'd like to know specifically what "Theory" is and what kind of areas of study are reletively close to this educational track.
