"Major theorists discuss the renowned philosopher Jacques Derrida's most political and controversial work - with a response by Derrida himself. With the publication of Specters of Marx in 1993, Jacques Derrida redeemed a longstanding pledge to confront Marx's texts directly and in detail. His characteristically bravura presentation provided a provocative re-reading of the classics in the Western tradition and posed a series of chall ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-86091-879-0, ISBN: 0-86091-879-3

"This book sets out to clarify the nature of the aesthetic as a category within the theory of historical materialism. It opens with an analysis of Marx’s brief discussion of Greek art in the Grundrisse, moves through a series of readings of specifically bourgeois texts, including those of Ruskin, G.M. Hopkins, Nietzsche and Henry James, and then to the terrain of Marxism in the concepts of history underwriting the work of Fredric Jameson ..."

Paperback, 254 Pages, Published 1993 by Verso
ISBN-13: 978-0-86091-594-2, ISBN: 0-86091-594-8

"Louis Althusser remained until his death in 1990 the most controversial of the “master thinkers” who emerged from the turbulent Parisian intellectual scene of the 1960s. The publication of his bestselling posthumous “autobiography”, L’avenir dure longtemps, has now refueled some of these controversies. Hugely influential, whether lauded or vilified, Althusser occupies a unique place in contemporary philosophy. What is certain is that Al ..."

ISBN-13: 978-1-85984-328-4, ISBN: 1-85984-328-X

"Winner of the 2001 Carey McWilliams Award Is the capital of Latin America a small island at the mouth of the Hudson River? Will California soon hold the balance of power in Mexican national politics? Will Latinos reinvigorate the US labor movement? These are some of the provocative questions that Mike Davis explores in this fascinating account of the Latinization of the US urban landscape. As he forefully shows, this is a demographic an ..."






History and Ideology in Proust(Updated)

Paperback, 240 Pages, Published 1998 by Verso
ISBN-13: 978-1-85984-188-4, ISBN: 1-85984-188-0

"No major writer of the twentieth century seems a less likely candidate for Marxist analysis than Marcel Proust. A wealthy dilettante and notable fixture in the Parisian salons, Proust chronicled and anatomized the world of France's upper classes, earning a reputation among both contemporaries and subsequent generations for aesthetic refinement and social snobbery. Yet in a reconsideration of Proust's masterpiece, A Ia recherche du temps ..."






History and Ideology in Proust
A la recherche du temps perdu and the Third French Republic (Cambridge Studies in French)
by Michael Sprinker
Hardcover, 248 Pages, Published 1995 by Cambridge University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-521-45342-4, ISBN: 0-521-45342-9

"This book offers a socio-historical reinterpretation of Proust's Remembrance of Things Past. Breaking with recent trends in Proust criticism, Michael Sprinker draws on historical scholarship to assess Proust's portrait of French society, and shows that the novel's account of its class structure and rivalries was both precise and critically engaged. He argues that in other areas, notably the nature of nationalist sentiment and gender ide ..."

ISBN-13: 978-1-85984-487-8, ISBN: 1-85984-487-1

"Michele Wallace's groundbreaking black feminist intervention into the maelstrom of cultural criticism was widely revered when it was first published in 1990. Now, in this new edition, she updates and extends the work for new and revisiting audiences. The early parts of the book remain untouched - a consideration of the work of her mother, the artist Faith Ringgold; recollections of her early life in Harlem; and an account of her develop ..."

Hardcover, 195 Pages, Published 2007 by Verso
ISBN-13: 978-1-84467-126-7, ISBN: 1-84467-126-7

"Combining classical Marxism, psychoanalysis, and the new labor history pioneered by E. P. Thompson and Herbert Gutman, David Roediger’s widely acclaimed book provides an original study of the formative years of working-class racism in the United States. This, he argues, cannot be explained simply with reference to economic advantage; rather, white working-class racism is underpinned by a complex series of psychological and ideological m ..."

Continuing the project of Althusserian theory, Macherey engages in a series of close exegeses of classical texts in French literature and philosophy, from the late eighteenth century down to the 1970s, that explore the historically variable but thematically similar ways in which literary texts represent p ..."
