Description: Post-Marxism Versus Cultural Studies: Theory, Politics and Intervention (Taking on the Political) [Hardcover] Bowman, Paul Product Overview Post-Marxism versus Cultural Studies is an innovative exploration of the ethical and political significance of Cultural Studies and Post-Marxist discourse theory. It argues that although Cultural Studies and post-Marxism tend to present themselves as distinct entities, they actually share a project – that of taking on the political. Post-Marxism presents itself as having a developed theory of political strategy, while Cultural Studies has claimed to be both practical and political. Bowman examines these intertwined, overlapping, controversial and contested claims and orientations by way of a deconstructive reading that is led by the question of intervention: what is the intervention of post-Marxism, of Cultural Studies, of each into the other, and into other institutional and political contexts and scenes?Through considerations of key aspects of Cultural Studies and cultural theory, Post- Marxism versus Cultural Studies argues that the very thing that is fundamental to both of these ‘politicised’ approaches – the quest to establish a theory of intervention, and to relate this to a practice – actually remains frustrated and unrealised as a direct result of the way this has been approached. Because of this stalemate, Post-Marxism versus Cultural Studies proposes a new theory of pragmatic intervention – one that is derived from Derridean deconstruction, post-Marxism and Cultural Studies, and which will be of importance and value for politicised academics and intellectuals working in all areas of political and Cultural Studies.Key Features An innovative take on the disciplines of Cultural Studies and Post-Marxism with a clear account of what Cultural Studies and post-Marxism are and why they are important Offers explanations, accounts and critiques of key figures of Cultural Studies and post-Marxism, such as Butler, Derrida, Hall, Laclau, Mowitt, Rorty and Zizek Draws out the similarities and clarifies the signifi Read more Details Publisher ‏ : ‎ Edinburgh University Press; 1st edition (April 18, 2007) Language ‏ : ‎ English Hardcover ‏ : ‎ 248 pages ISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 0748617620 ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 23 Item Weight ‏ : ‎ 1.15 pounds Dimensions ‏ : ‎ 9.1 x 0.8 x 6.4 inches Best Sellers Rank: #9,100,915 in Books (See Top 100 in Books) #4,397 in Political Ideologies #6,926 in Political History (Books) #12,333 in Communism & Socialism (Books) #4,397 in Political Ideologies #6,926 in Political History (Books) Stock Photos Please Note: All of our book listings use stock photos unless otherwise stated.
