This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This accessible and wide-ranging book is an invaluable introductory guide through the choices to be made when deciding how to report research.

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -'Tormey and Townshend have succeeded not only in making accessible the notoriously evasive ideas of Post-Marxist thinkers, they have begun the vital work of critically examining their contribution to Marx s project of overcoming capitalism.' - James Martin, Goldsmiths, University of London'Excellent textbook - critical, challenging and thoroughly engaging!'- Richard White, Sheffield Hallam University'In language which is clear without being simplistic, Tormey and Townshend help readers think about ways to live 'with and without Marx' in the wake of Marxism s historical failures as well as its continuing relevance to life under globalizing capitalism.'- Mark Rupert, Syracuse UniversityKey Thinkers in Critical Theory to Post Marxism is a comprehensive introduction to perhaps the most key intellectual trend in contemporary critical theory. In jargon-free language, it seeks to unpack, explain and review many of the key figures behind the rethinking of the legacy of Marxism in theory and practice.Key thinkers covered include Cornelius Castoriadis, Jean-Francois Lyotard, Deleuze and Guattari, Laclau and Mouffe, Agnes Heller, Jacques Derrida, J rgen Habermas and post-Marxist feminism.Each chapter covers a key thinker or contribution and thus can be read as a stand alone introduction to the principal aspects of their approach. Each chapter is followed by a summary of key points with a guide to further reading.Underlying the text is also the central question: What is Post-Marxism Instead of viewing Post-Marxism as an ideology, movement or tradition of theorizing, the authors advocate Post-Marxism as a loose appellation describing those who have problematised Marx s approach to understanding and challenging contemporary capitalism. As such the book also offers an engaging commentary on some of the key political developments of our time including, for example, the anti-globalisation movement.Key Thinkers in Critical Theory to Post Marxism provides an ideal introduction to a hitherto complex subject and will be essential reading for students of contemporary social and political inquiry. 242 pp. Englisch.…
