clogic: A Pathfinder

This is a computer-generated pathfinder created against the Distant Reader study called clogic.

Each Distant Reader study carrel is composed of many individual items. Each item is bibliographically described with author, title, date, summary, and keyword values. Below is a list of the items' most signficant keywords as well as lists of the items themselves. Purpusing the content of this pathfinder provides the student, researcher, or scholar with one way to get their heads around the scope of the carrel. The keywords include:

Class; Issn; State; World; Copyright; People; Marx; Labor; York; History; Education; Theory; War; Students; Production; Workers; Power; Time; Working; Capital; Capitalism; Life; Work; Party; Human; Public; Soviet; Studies; Marxism; Politics; Revolution; Novel; School; Left; Nature; Relations; Culture; Literature; Self; Professor; Philosophy; English; Book; Film; Marxist; Consciousness; Trotsky; Process; Michael; Art; Body; David; Bush; Administration; Question; Language; Snedeker; Smith; Christopher; Scott; Poetry; Ollman; Sociology; Eid; Bruno; Manuel; Radosh; Hardt; Chair; Ginger; Iftekhar; Step; Ted; Logic​; Ruccio; Seed; Bright; Stoner; Landers; Box; Dee; Kranenburg; Anglesey; Logoff; Brad

Depending on how this pathfinder was created, many of the bibliographic sections will include elaborations on the meaning(s) of the given keywords. These elaborations were generated by feeding the items' summaries to a large langauge model and asking the model to address the question, "What is X?", where "X" is the keyword. The result will be a few sentences of elaboration. Be forewarned. The elaborations are often plausible, but they should not be take as truth. Instead, they should be taken as points for consideration.

• Introducing Scholactivism: Reflections on Transforming Praxis in and Beyond the Classroom by Ramsey, Joseph G. (2018) - Urgently pressing home the need to do more than model radical ideas and critical methods, especially in a historical moment where many university students lack a mass political catalyst akin to the Vietnam War, Modhumita Roy argues for incorporating activist assignments into our syllabi, to familiarize students with modes of social engagement that transcend the academic. In a similar vein, Panitch draws a distinction between advocate intellectuals who ally with existing calls to expand rights to “victims” within the coordinates of the existing system, and critical intellectuals who go to the root of things and draw out not just the “victimhood” but the actual and potential power of working class people within the system.

• Scholactivism: A Roundtable Interview with Ricardo Antunes, Pietro Basso, Patrick Bond, Michael Löwy, José Paulo Netto, and Leo Panitch by Amini, Babak (2018) - For the irreverent and committed intellectual, prestige and recognition come from the activists and movement intellectuals who are involved in popular struggles; they work with those intellectuals and activists. Political institutions and social movements connecting with particular social classes provide the space in which the ‘organic’ intellectuals can be produced, trained, and interact with other political agents.

• Critical Revolutionary Praxis in the Neoliberal University by Zabel, Gary (2018) - If anything, we may speculate that the Great Depression that closes this period purged the colleges and universities of whatever small number of working class students they had, as young people had to give up aspirations to higher education in order to contribute to the support of their families. These veterans included the first significant influx of working class students into the higher education system.

• Lukács, Mariátegui, and the Dialectical Roots of Edu-Activism by Maerhofer, John (2018) - This process begins in our classrooms with a confrontational stance towards the category of reified knowledge that are part and parcel of the capitalist drive to refine levels of alienated labor on a global scale in order to undermine the alienation fostered by capitalist education and its rendering of all human capacity under the rubric of exchange-value rationality. (The Crab Cannery Ship) as a way to reconcile the dialectical functionality of edu-activism and the methodological possibilities for the undoing of capitalist education-as-domination in the current era of spiraling crises.

• Shred of Truth: Antinomy and Synecdoche in the Work of Ta-Nehisi Coates by Ferguson, Stephen C.; Meyerson, Gregory (2018) - [note: recall the incessant trope whereby Black bodies are as a group at the bottom of the well, here the image is “basement,” and elsewhere it is “dungeon”] and today, with a sprawling prison system which has turned the warehousing of black bodies into a jobs program for Dreamers and a lucrative investment for Dreamers; today when 8 percent of the world’s prisoners are black men, our bodies have refinanced the dream of being white. Black people for all practical purposes did not own slaves; but Black people do own homes.

• Untangling the Scholactivist Web by Huq, Efadul; Best, Xavier (2018) - Any honest observer of contemporary activist struggles would be remiss to ignore the substantial influence of social media in bringing together disparate groups struggling to achieve a common goal. When politically motivated activists bring an informed and relevant critique to an otherwise conventional opinion exchange on social media, they reinvent themselves as scholar- activists—scholactivists.

• Identifying the Theoretical Development of the League of Revolutionary Black Workers for a Pedagogy of Revolution by Barnum, Anthony Justin (2018) - Marxism-Leninism became, for many LRBW members, a set of guidelines for analyzing the material conditions of their particular situation within global capitalism and for providing the foundations from which to develop a strategy of movement organization. As such, the data are limited to the publicly available surviving documents, scholarly journals, and media, which treat a small group of LRBW members.

• Consolidating U.S. Hegemony: A neo-Gramscian Synthesis of Pantich and Gindin, and Konings by Diepenbrock, Paul (2018) - I intend to agree with this point and argue that we must see financial globalization and US state power not as two analytical concepts, but as one. It overlooks how the power of capital and the market on one hand and the institutional linkages of US state power on the other must be seen as one analytical concept.

• Students and Teachers! The Unasked Question: Why Have School? by Gibson, Rich (2018) - School unions are shrinking, but slowly, while industrial unions collapse, evaporate, because, in part, industry evaporates, and because industrial union leaders abandoned the idea at the heart of unionism—the contradictory interests of workers and employers. ✔ School unions attack the working class as a whole.

• Class Consciousness and Teacher Education: The Socialist Challenge and The Historical Context by Malott, Curry Stephenson (2013) - Drawing on these insights regarding class-consciousness, I outline the debilitating tendencies of a Weberian conception of social class in U.S. teacher education programs and beyond situated in the current context of neo-colonialism/neoliberalism, that is, the most current period of global capitalism. • Weberian conceptions of social class, therefore, present class as a series of disconnected categories determined by one’s skills, market appeal, and institutional privilege.

• The Pedagogy of Excess by Kelsh, Deborah P. (2013) - It is these emotional truths that make all the difference” (p. 26). It is “a nonconscious, never-to-be-conscious autonomic remainder” (p. 25).

• Undermining Capitalist Pedagogy: Takiji Kobayashi’s Tōseikatsusha and the Ideology of the World Literature Paradigm by Maerhofer, John (2013) - While on the surface the category of world literature seeks to erase the historical disjunctions ensconced in Eurocentrism, the multicultural disguise of world literature discourse, which renders all cultural formations transparent, ends up purging the “world” of its symbiotic relation to the interests of globalized capital, which it serves through the ideological codification of acquiescence to the dictates of globalized capitalist social relations. 9 David Damrosch, “Towards a History of World Literature,” New Literary History 39:3 (summer 2008) 1 6 0  M a e r h o f e r   limitlessness of “breathless globalism,” Damrosch offers a reading of world literature through the dialectic of the local/global in which neither is either privileged or denied a viable space in the breadth of world literary form, as he writes: The opportunity that world literary history offers the national traditions is something better than their dissolution into a globalized hyperreality.

• Marxist Sociology of Education and the Problem of Naturalism: An Historical Sketch by Banfield, Grant (2013) - Armed with the surety of laws akin to those of nature, Marxist theory was seen to point to the inevitability of a transition from capitalism to socialism. One refers to approaches to Marxist theory that emphasise the cultural and ideological dimensions of social life; the other turns to issues of political and economic geography. Keywords: althusser; class; education; gramsci; history; left; london; lukács; marx; marxism; naturalism; nature; new; sociology; theory; western
• A Tale of Two Cities — and States by Brosio, Richard A. (2013) - When there are not very good jobs, or worse yet, there is rampant unemployment, history tells us many people become only part of the audience. The business barrage of advertizing helped capitalism convince many people that the malls were the sites of democracy.

• SDS, the 1960s, and Education for Revolution by Spector, Alan J. (2013) - Labor militancy was on the upsurge alongside black militancy and anti-war student militancy. That was not enough for the RYM groups (nor the U.S. government, which doubtless used its agents to foment discord and splits within SDS as it did within many other groups, because they wanted SDS destroyed).

• Leninism and Blanquism by Greene, Doug Enaa (2018) - As is clear below, there is a chasm between Blanquism and Marxism on this question: Military conspiracy is Blanquism, if it is organised not by a party of a definite class, if its organisers have not analysed the political moment in general and the international situation in particular, if the party has not on its side the sympathy of the majority of the people, as proved by objective facts, if the development of revolutionary events has not brought about a practical refutation of the conciliatory illusions of the petty bourgeoisie, if the majority of the Soviet-type organs of revolutionary struggle that have been recognised as authoritative or have shown themselves to be such in practice have not been won over, if there has not matured a sentiment in the army (if in war-time) against the government that protracts the unjust war against the will of the whole people, if the slogans of the uprising (like “All power to the Soviets,” “Land to the peasants,” or “Immediate offer of a democratic peace to all the belligerent nations, with an immediate abrogation of all secret treaties and secret diplomacy,” etc.) have not become widely known and popular, if the advanced workers are not sure of the desperate situation of the masses and of the support of the countryside, a support proved by a serious peasant movement or by an uprising against the landowners and the government that defends the landowners, if the country’s economic situation inspires earnest hopes for a favourable solution of the crisis by peaceable and parliamentary means.63 Lenin recognized that no plan of battle necessarily went according to plan, but he believed that without practice, initiative and daring the party would be paralyzed: “the essential thing is to begin at once to learn from actual practice: have no fear of these trial attacks.

• Becoming “Migrant John”: John Steinbeck and His Migrants and His (Un)conscious Turn to Marx by Wang, Huei-ju (2018) - In literature, John Steinbeck also made a prominent use of the figure of the migrant mother, deploying it to both represent the struggle and plight of the migrant farm workers in Depression-era California and to contain revolutionary class struggles in favor of social reforms espoused by the New Deal.3 In a literary career that was built on the representation of the migrant farm labor in the 1930s, earning him the nickname of “Migrant John” from the migrant laborers, Steinbeck demonstrated his ingenious use of materials – the body of the migrant worker, especially that of the migrant mother – to depict and dissect class conflicts and class struggle between capital and migrant labor during the Great Depression. For an assessment of Steinbeck’s literary “greatness” during the depression years, see John Steinbeck: The Years of Greatness, 1936-1939, edited by Tetsumaro Hayashi.

 with the “golden age” of 20th century capitalism,6 to do so would but bring on escalating crises – environmental crises, social crises – of a kind without precedent.

• Moment of Transition: Structural Crisis and the Case for a Democratic Socialist Party by Roberto, Michael Joseph; Meyerson, Gregory; Essex, Jamey; Noonan, Jeff (2019) - This section of the paper, therefore, outlines both a critique of any non- nuclear renewable energy scenario along with a call for serious consideration of an energy transition based in new nuclear power, with possibly significant niche roles for renewables. This section hopes to begin this discussion by assessing the merits of nuclear power and so-called renewable energy in order to determine what sort of socialism we can hope for.

Perry 38 proletariat’s opportunity” was “nullified by the re-establishment of the system of racist privileges of white labor” in immigration and industrial employment policies.85 The trouble with the concessions “was even more serious because they could not be continued without loosening the keystone of bourgeois power,” since these concessions “by their very nature had to chip away at the white-skin privileges of white labor in employment, housing education, etc.” Keywords: african; allen; allen class; allen papers; american; b. perry; black; bond; class; class struggle; control; european; harrison; history; hubert; invention; jeffrey; jeffrey b.; labor; labor history; movement; national; negro; new; oppression; party; people; perry; privileges; question; race; radicals; revolution; roediger; ruling; skin; slavery; socialist; states; struggle; supremacist; supremacy; system; theodore; u.s; united; w. allen; war; white; workers; working; york
• Class and the New Family in the Wake of the Housing Crisis by Torrant, Julie P. (2019) - In particular, the dominant understanding of the “new” family in contemporary family studies and literary and cultural studies posits family relations as primarily, if not solely, based on “affect” – whether this affect is called “desire” in earlier theories (see, for instance, Judith Butler, Gender Trouble and Bodies That Matter) or “love” in more recent theories (see Stephanie Coontz, Marriage, a History: from Obedience to Intimacy or How Love Conquered Marriage). In other words, these texts work to affirm a new cultural norm of family relations within the exploitative and oppressive relations of capitalism.

• Re-Staging the Great Depression: Genre as Social Memory in Darren Aronofsky's 'The Wrestler' by Balthaser, Benjamin (2019) - While the setting and social class of The Fighter and The Wrestler are highly similar, The Fighter’s political conservativism runs far deeper than its Horatio Alger politics. Where consumer culture was once a collective focal point of working class life and even facilitated organizing, The Wrester suggests that contemporary mass culture is based on a spectacle in which one is a passive observer, radically limiting its progressive potential.23 Indeed, as critic Joseph Ramsey has recently noted: “Once upon a time, indulging in consumer culture meant giving oneself a ‘scare’ – Stephanie’s favorite ride, as Randy recalls, was the ‘Hall of Monsters’ – that would make you hold tight to the living leg of an actual family member beside you; nowadays, the film suggests, it means seeking an artificial ‘family’ member who will hold your prosthetic leg in the spectacular lights, wielding the symbol of your debility on stage as if it were as a weapon.

• Introduction to "Wrestling with the Left: The Making of Ralph Ellison's 'Invisible Man'" by Foley, Barbara (2019) - Arnold Rampersad, in his definitive Ralph Ellison: A Biography (2007), demonstrates that Ellison was a figure of considerable significance in leftist literary circles before he repudiated his radical con- nections and, after the publication of Invisible Man, joined the Congress for Cultural Freedom and became a solid member of the cold war–era New York literary establishment.6 The record of Ellison’s early leftism as a writer remains largely incom- plete, however, because the vast archive of his unpublished short stories, novel outlines, journalism, and drafts and notes to Invisible Man to this point remains unexamined, both as a body of material of interest in its own right and as the vital back story to the novel. While Ralph Ellison: The Emergence of Genius and Ralph Ellison: A Biography delineate with scholarly precision Ellison’s participation in leftist cultural circles over a few years, both biographies depict a man who was ambitious to transcend the limitations of his early life at practically any cost.

• Proletarian Pastoral Reconsidered: Reading Mike Gold in an Age of Ecological Crisis by Sipley, Tristan (2019) - When Mikey asks if God had made flies and bedugs, his skeptical musings, with their implication of cosmic injustice, foreshadow his impending loss of faith and his embrace of socialism as the “true Messiah” at the end of the novel; but this rhetorical question is also a political statement on Lower East Side living conditions. This real-life instance of modern urban planning turned a bustling Lower East Side street into a wide boulevard, in a process not unlike the reactionary Haussmannisation of Paris in the mid-nineteenth century.11 For an explication of this process one need go no further than Frederick Engels’ essay on “The Housing Question”: By “Haussmann” I mean the practice which has now become general of making breaches in the working-class quarters of our big towns, and particularly in those which are centrally situated . . .

• Culturalist and Materialist Explanations of Class and 'Race': Critical Race Theory, Equivalence/Parallelist Theory, and Marxist Theory by Hill, Dave (2019) - While his work is not silent on social class disadvantage and social class based oppression, his treatment of social class analysis is dismissive and his treatment of social class underachievement in education and society, extraordinarily subdued.

• Post-Marxism as Compromise Formation by Meyerson, Gregory; San Juan, Jr., E. (2019) - He, like they, vehemently repudiates the individualist analysis of race and embraces socio-structural explanations while claiming that Marxian class analysis is reductionist. This anti-communism functions to demonize class analysis – along with its internationalist moral and political stance – by equating both with a dominative instrumental reason in turn associated with a cannibalizing and monstrous white supremacy.

• Socialism, Christianity, and Rosa Luxemburg by Boer, Roland (2019) - A Little Church History Now for Luxemburg’s rather intriguing re-reading of Church history, which seeks to provide a thumb-nail sketch of the way the role and place of the Church changed within the shifting economic formations of some 1900 years. And the reason for Luxemburg’s step into Church history lies in her desire to find the way out of an anomaly: if the New Testament presents a picture of the first Christians as devoted to justice for the poor, to communism in living and to providing refuge for the oppressed, how did the Church end up as it is now, as a friend of the rich and powerful, as a supporter of the status quo, as an institution with a distinct financial and political interest in ensuring its place within the economic infrastructure?

• Class Struggle and the Origin of Racial Slavery: The Invention of the White Race by Allen, Theodore William; Perry, Jeffrey B. (2019) - The result was that the number of African lifetime bond-servants in 1708-09 in the three main southern colonies exceeded the number of European bond-servants by 12,000 (tithables) to none in Virginia, 4,657 to 3,003 in Maryland, and 4,100 to 120 in South Carolina.41 Now a new note is heard; the terms deficiency laws, quota, and the need for white servants, appear with increasing frequency in the records. White servants rarely come of late, said one of William Penn's trustees, and consequently the country is in danger of becoming a country of negroes.42 The Council of Trade and Plantations urged the King to direct the colonial governors to enforce strictly the acts for increasing the number of white men in their colonies. . .

• The New Right Frankenstein? Culture War and the Abnegation of Class by Enoch, Simon (2019) - According to Maharidge, The fear of terrorism is but one element that mixes quite well with a set of fears that are nothing new to millions of working class Americans. Moreover, while the Right was industriously fabricating their own class-based language to appeal to working class voters, the Democrats were simultaneously jettisoning those same voters, ousting their representatives from positions within the party and consigning their issuesto the dustbin of history (Ibid., 243-44).

• The Torment and Demise of the United Auto Workers Union as Performed by the Auto Bosses, the Labor Leaders, Counterfeit Radicals, Fictional Revolutionaries, and All Those Who Know They Are Not Innocent Either by Gibson, Rich (2019) - Other reformers wound up with UAW jobs and disappeared into the cult of loyalty that propels most US unions. Many US workers, especially white men, made gains with this strategy in the last century, recognizing that history will be cruel to them as members of a class.

• Tendencies of Utopia: Reflections on Recent Work in the Modern Utopian Tradition by Kendrick, Christorpher (2019) - Moylan's case that the science fiction dystopia is different from utopia, while leading to its inclusion, gives a sense of how utopia can in some science fiction works figure as a structurally subordinate narrative unit, though like Suvin he continues to treat science fiction as basically utopian without saying exactly why (anti-utopian science fiction is a contradiction in terms, I suppose, if anti-utopianism is finally a version of utopianism; but what about a simply un-utopian science fiction -- can that be?). And it will be to inquire as to how to learn from utopias, as to how they can best be used, especially given the surcharge of skepticism, evident in utopian works themselves, attaching to any particular positive vision of a radically different, better society, and attesting as much to the disunity of oppositional forces as to any unconscious fear of utopia.

• Cultural Politics of Community Mobilization in East LA: Reflections on Mexican American Women Activists by Mary Pardo by Hale, Matthew A. (2019) - An historical act can only be performed by collective man, and this presupposes the attainment of a cultural-social unity through which a multiplicity of dispersed wills, with heterogeneous aims, are welded together with a single aim, on the basis of an equal and common conception of the world, both general and particular, operating in transitory bursts or permanently Since this is the way things happen, great importance is assumed by the general question of language, that is, the question of collectively attaining a single cultural climate. -- Antonio Gramsci The (re)election of George W. Bush highlights the importance of cultural politics in shaping our climate of class struggle. Mexican American Women Activists by Mary Pardo illustrates how subaltern activists and organic intellectuals can mobilize pre-existing cultural identities and networks to unify diverse wills in struggles for collective interests.

• Marxism and the Race/Class Problematic: A Re-Articulation by San Juan, Jr., E. (2019) - To recapitulate: Social class in a Marxist construal denotes groups of social agents defined principally but not exclusively by their place in the labor process. Race is thus constructed out of raw materials furnished by class relations, the history of class conflicts, and the vicissitudes of colonial/capitalist expansion and the building of imperial hegemony.

Manuel Durán y Margery Safir in their Earth Tones: The Poetry of Pablo Neruda (Bloomington: University of Indiana Press, 1981) do not accuse Neruda of being a socialist realist openly but, rather, claim that he was a strict Soviet-style Communist when they refer to his political ideas in Canto general.

• Summary of the Argument of "The Invention of the White Race" (Part 1) by Allen, Theodore W. (2019) - During my own study of page after page of Virginia county records, reel after reel of microfilm prepared by the Virginia Colonial Records Project, and other seventeenth-century sources, I have found no instance of the official use of the word white as a token of social status before its appearance in a Virginia law passed in 1691, referring to English or other white women. The Accomack and Northampton records have been treated in great detail by other historians, most recently by Timothy H. Breen and Stephen Innes, Myne Owne Ground: Race and Freedom on Virginia's Eastern Shore in the Seventeenth Century (New York, 1980), and by Joseph Douglas Deal, Race and Class in Colonial Virginia: Indians, Englishmen, and Africans on the Eastern Shore During the Seventeenth Century (New York, 1993).

• Summary of the Argument of "The Invention of the White Race" (Part 2) by Allen, Theodore W. (2019) - He continues with a corollary: Significantly, the only rebellions of white servants in the continental colonies came before the entrenchment of slavery.197 Worse, still, the poor and propertyless European-Americans became the principal element in the day-to-day enforcement of racial oppression...The immediate control of the Negroes, writes Thomas J. Wertenbaker, fell almost entirely into the hands of white men of humble means. According to autobiographies of former bond-laborers, the home of a bond-laborer was considered by many white men...as a house of ill-fame (John W.

Allen by Scott, Jonathan; Meyerson, Gregory (2025) - QUESTION: How did you arrive at social control as a conceptual framework through which the origins of racial oppression could be analyzed and understood?

• On Roediger's "Wages of Whiteness" by Allen, Theodore W. (2019) - The Black workers had much to contribute to the development of a labor movement, and the struggle for the eight-hour day in particular, but the gift was spurned by white labor. In Part I, in Chapter 1, Roediger sets forth the conceptual approach to his subject, posing a set of questions of key importance that he has found Marxist labor historians to have ignored, or neglected, or misconceived: 1) the role of race in defining how white workers look not only at Blacks but at themselves; 2) the pervasiveness of race; 3) the complex mixture of hate, sadness and longing in the racist thought of white workers; 4) the relationship between race and ethnicity.2 Keywords: allen; american; black; class; david; european; history; identity; labor; logic; new; race; roediger; states; supremacism; theodore; united; wages; white; workers; working; working class; york
• In Memoriam: Theodore W. Allen by Perry, Jeffrey B. (2019) - He emphasized that each of these rationales had to be reinterpreted in terms of white supremacy, that white supremacy was reinforced by the white-skin privilege of white workers, and that the white-skin privilege does not serve the real interests of the white workers. Allen, an ardent opponent of white supremacy, spent much of his last forty years researching the role of white supremacy in United States history and examining records of colonial Virginia as he documented and analyzed the development of the white race in the latter part of the seventeenth century.

• Terrorism and Revolution: The Struggle for National Democracy and Socialism in the Philippines by San Juan, Jr., E. (2019) - And though there might be ambiguity and contingency in envisaging that future, the goal is always concrete and infused with values since it is always dialectically linked to the rational choices we make in opting for revolutionary violence to counter counter-revolutionary resistance to change. From the point of view of Jose Maria Sison, the founding chairman of the Communist Party of the Philippines, and currently branded as a terrorist by the Powell doctrine, the use of revolutionary violence is legitimate from a historical perspective.

(Durham and London: Duke University Press, 2002. 428 pp. paper, $24.95; cloth, $74.95.) by Cabusao, Jeffrey Arellano (2019) - Given the historical specificity of U.S. capitalism, class struggle cannot be theorized adequately outside the conjunctures of the racial formation in which it acquires valency.18 One of the many movements for social justice currently developing within the U.S. internal colonies (the U.S. Third World) is the struggle for Black reparations. This racial divide constitutes 'a form of stratification built into the structure of U.S. society' as a Herrenvolk democracy.

• Educational Perversion and Global Neo-Liberalism: A Marxist Critique by Hill, Dave (2019) - Much of my own work calls for critical education and for the development of teachers as critical transformative intellectuals. One example in England and Wales is the swathe of redundancies/dismissals of teacher educators specialising in the sociology, politics and contexts of education following the conforming of teacher education, the imposition of a skills-based rigidly monitored national curriculum for teacher training in 1992/ 1993.

• The California Grocery Strike by Gibson, Rich (2019) - Perhaps an equally powerful demonstration of the subservience of US union leaders to the empire is what they did not do: they never organized the massive military, or even tried.

• Harold Pinter and the Fragmentation of Working-Class Consciousness by Stone, Leonard A.

• From Situational Dialectics to Pseudo-Dialectics: Mao, Jiang, and Capitalist Transition by Foley, Barbara (2019) - The sharp class struggles of the Cultural Revolution, themselves a product of intensifying class contradictions in the early 1960s, had far more to do with the rise of Deng and Jiang than did any opportunistic moves on the part of the CCP in the 1940s. Because, as we have seen, Jiang has identified the working class as a force of production, and has then stipulated that anyone who helps to develop the productive forces counts as a member of the working class, the notion of the working class has already been deprived of any connection with either exploitation or class struggle.

• Changing the Subject: Cultural Studies and the Demise of Class by Kirk, John (2019) - They may be characterised by both change and/or continuity, but either way they constitute what Munt describes in her Introduction as, 'sites of class experience The gist of his argument can be summed up as follows: how do you deal with feeling working class when you get paid a middle- class salary and do middle-class things?

• Rethinking the Politics of The Grapes of Wrath by Cunningham, Charles (2019) - As was true with most representations of California agricultural labor after the white workers became a majority, Steinbeck's excluded non-white workers -- despite the fact that when the articles were published, the displacement of non-white workers was by no means total (Wollenberg xi).12 The Harvest Gypsies series articulates, in effect, a rationale for why Anglo-Saxon whites should dominate accounts of the migrant problem. In one sense, that argument is impossible to refute: Grapes mentions non-white workers only briefly while recounting the history of migrant farming before the Okies.

• Frans de Waal, Good Natured: The Origins of Right and Wrong in Humans and Other Animals. Cambridge and London: Harvard University Press, 1996. by Madison, Elena (2019) - By examining the likenesses and differences we can shed light on the interplay of biology and culture--in particular, how each contributes to human behavior, as well as how each is changed by human activity. Culture and its evolution are social aspects of human behavior that are invented by humans, or other animals, and are passed down from generation to generation, as children learn from adults.

• Notes on Black Marxism by Mullen, Bill V. (2019) - Racism benefits the bourgeoisie absolutely and relatively; working class whites are usually part of the larger 'social mechanism' of racist accumulation and Black underdevelopment, serving as uncritical cogs in the wheels of Black exploitation. As demonstration, here are two passages: the first is the final paragraph of his opening chapter, in which he presents the diaspora and the experience of black people under slavery as the foundation of both modernity and the double consciousness it creates in black people; the second is another definition of diaspora: I have already implied that there is a degree of convergence here with other projects towards a critical theory of society, particularly Marxism.

• The Emperor's New Genes: A Study in Fascist Pseudoscience — How It Serves the Current Needs of the Capitalist Class: A Review of E. O. Wilson's Consilience and a Critique of Biological Determinism by MacKenzie, Lucas (2019) - But in Consilience there is some pretense of providing evidence for the existence of such genes.

• Paula L. M. Moya and Michael Hames-Garcia, eds., Reclaiming Identity: Realist Theory and the Predicament of Postmodernism by Foley, Barbara (2019) - He starts by remarking that at issue in realism's understanding of social identity are the coherence and accuracy with which theories about groups account for the real social features of the systems of exploitation that give those social groups their political salience (109). Domination benefits from the naturalization of social identities, which is also therefore the naturalization of domination.

• Teaching About The Nazi Holocaust in the Context of Comprehending and Overcoming Fascism by Gibson, Rich (2019) - Trotsky argued thus in Fascism, What it is and How to Fight It: fascism rises out of the crisis of the petit-bourgeoisie, the middle class, a crisis itself caused by an economic collapse inherent in capitalist development. The Britisher, R. Palme Dutt, in Fascism and Social Revolution, posed a dramatically different argument: fascism is the logical and necessary logic of capitalism--as a system-- in crisis, a stage itself which is an inevitable stage of capitalist development.

• Pedagogy for Revolution against Education for Capital: An E-dialogue on Education in Capitalism Today by McLaren, Peter; Rikowski, Glenn (2019) - Human capital is labor power expressed as capitalist social form. Contrast this with what Marx had to say, that in capitalist societies, concrete labor is reduced to a quantum of total social labor, as something translated into the socially necessary labor-time -- a process that is part of the circuit of production and exchange.

• Jameson's "Arrested Dialectic": From Structuralism to Postmodernism by González, Marcial (2019) - If Harvey is correct in linking postmodernism to the most basic interests of capitalism-- namely, the eradication of social class as a primary category for social analysis and the discrediting of class struggle as a primary strategy for social change--and if he is correct also in concluding that identity politics and the new social movements function as postmodern ideological projects antagonistically opposed to working-class politics, then we can begin to understand with greater clarity the source of Jameson's claim that postmodernity is more propitious for the arrested dialectic than the contradiction, because the arrested dialectic replicates, in both form and content, the defeat of the political left that Eagleton describes in his hypothetical scenario, as well as the cancellation of the social contract between capital and labor theorized in the shift from Fordism to flexible accumulation.

• Rethinking Black Marxism: Reflections on Cedric Robinson and Others by Meyerson, Gregory (2020) - In Robinson's case, his equation of class analysis with economism or economic determinism is in part what allows him to critique Marxian class analysis from the standpoint of his culturalist alternative which interprets Marxism as an insufficient internal critique of a Eurocentrism rooted in a fundamentally racist and violence-prone Western metaphysic, one point of which is to deny the black radical tradition. Class rule is never automatic or easy, and there is constant resistance, both to class rule itself and its symptoms.

• On Richard D. Wolff by Kelsh, Deb (2020) - What advances the marketeering of the left is a Group -- what I have theorized in Desire and Class as the labor aristocracy of the knowledge industry constituted through concession from the rapidly disaggregating middle-class fraction -- whose resources and interest in maintaining the condition of possibility of those resources (class society) compels and enables it to fight for the capitalist practices always threatening to disaggregate it entirely, but without which it cannot exist at all. This ignores the historical necessity of work towards revolution, which involves the refusal to compromise because such compromise in class society always means compromise on the terms of the ruling class and consequently assimilation to the terms of class society.

• J. K. Gibson-Graham's THE END OF CAPITALISM (AS WE KNEW IT): A FEMINIST CRITIQUE OF POLITICAL ECONOMY by Maroney, Heather Jon (2020) - Conventionally enough, capitalist class processes are those where surplus labour is extracted in value form.

• Roads Taken and Not Taken: Post-Marxism, Antiracism, and Anticommunism by Foley, Barbara (2020) - In an irony that Marx for one would have appreciated, indeed, the past errors of communist movements come back to haunt us in the spectral guise of post-Marxist anticommunism. But putting together this talk--where I'll discuss African American writers and the left, and the impediments posed to the study of their interrelation by anticommunism, in both its Cold War and post-Marxist variants--has reminded me that one cannot talk about history without being theoretical, or, conversely, engage in a theoretical practice that does not bear historical traces.

• Desire and Class: The Knowledge Industry in the Wake of Poststructuralism (Part 1 and Part 2) by Kelsh, Deb (2020) - Such an overhaul should begin by disposing of the remnants of class theory and class analysis (45). Rather, the locution from without, as I have already argued, must be understood as outside of the sphere of relations between workers and employers, outside of the dominant knowledges of class relations of production, the division of labour that, as Marx indicates, seizes upon, not only the economic, but every other sphere of society and everywhere lays the foundation of that all engrossing system of specialising and sorting men (Capital vol.

Some Reflections on the Politics of Identity in the U.S. by Gimenez, Martha (2020) - But this is no laughing matter, for labels have consequences and these became increasingly clear to me as I began to search for critiques of the Hispanic label. Altogether this blurring of distinctions has many negative implications for members of local minorities, for arriving immigrants, and for the average American, whose relative ignorance about the world beyond U.S. boundaries is strengthened by labels that stereotype practically the entire world.

What I wish to argue is that these ideological and organizational patterns shaping the terrain upon which the Chinese issue was fought out, however complex, were shaped primarily by the planter-class Democrats in their interest, and there were real serious limitations as to the degree to which these patterns could in anything but the very short run be reappropriated or resignified to benefit white labor against capital.

• Postmodern Cultural Studies: A Critique by Katz, Adam (2020) - Cultural studies has never superseded this contradiction, which is why, as is evident in Stuart Hall's narratives of cultural studies, each new identity or problem that confronted cultural studies (feminism, race, the linguistic turn, etc.) has induced a crisis which brings this contradiction to the fore (see, for example, the discussion in Cultural Studies and its Theoretical Legacies). They have also been contradictory in the sense that cultural studies has accommodated itself to existing practices, by producing new modes of fetishizing texts and preserving conservative modes of subjectivity.

• Harriet Fraad, Stephen Resnick, and Richard Wolff, eds., BRINGING IT ALL BACK HOME: CLASS, GENDER, AND POWER IN THE MODERN HOUSEHOLD by Gimenez, Martha E. (2020) - The authors view current U.S. trends such as married women's higher levels of labor force participation, higher divorce and separation rates, domestic violence, growing numbers of gay, lesbian and single women's households and communal households as results of the interaction between capitalist and feudal class processes and contradictions and tensions within feudal households. Given the current fashion to declare Marxism dead and the long standing feminist hostility to Marxism this book, which seeks the development of a Marxist Feminist analysis of household relations, is indeed an unexpected treat.

(2024) - Like all social science perspectives, social reproduction, capitalist social reproduction, and intersectionality are products of their time. Class relations and changes in the balance of power between capital and the working classes explain the visible or observable aspects of the changing economic, social and political landscape within which people live in capitalist social formations (CSFs) where, for example, social classes and status groups are reproduced, patterns of social stratification, the gender, racial, and ethnic composition of the population, and the size of “majority” and “minority” groups change because of migration flows and differences in natural increase.

• Make Room for Marx in Anti-racist Philosophy by Gomberg, Paul (2024) - Boxill engages Michael Reich’s argument (based on a statistical survey of the 48 largest metropolitan areas in the US) in Racial Inequality (1981) that wage discrimination against black workers lowers wages for white workers: in areas where racial wage differentials were greater, wages for white workers were lower; where racial parity was greater, wages for white workers were higher. Gomberg 15 Boxill writes (57), “But if racism pits white workers and capitalists against black workers, it would seem to follow that, while overcoming racism would raise black workers’ wages, it would lower white workers’ wages.” Keywords: anti; boxill; capitalist; class; marx; mills; people; race; racism; university; wages; white; workers; working

• Late Poulantzas: Between Kautsky and Austro-Marxism by Sklavos, Anastasios (2025) - Nevertheless, there are critics who contend that Poulantzas’s proposal did not provide a fresh perspective on the intricate matter of the transition but, instead, echoed the outdated and ineffective stances of social democracy (Barker, 1979), entwined with elements of Austro-Marxism. (Chrysis, 2009: 74) 34 Sklavos In conclusion, while Kautsky’s position is grounded in the perspective of the bourgeois state as a neutral tool whose use can be altered under the influence of social democracy, this convergence with Kautsky’s logic raises questions for a modern analyst of Poulantzas’s caliber.

• Peter Gowan’s Theorization of the Forms and Contradictions of US Supremacy: A Critical Assessment by Sakellaropoulos, Spyros; Sotiris, Panagiotis (2019) - So, these scores show that the gap between the EU and US economy is getting deeper. This helped him define the national interest of the US as the dominant capitalist state: the US government will ensure the access of American capitals to regions of market growth, dynamic pools of labour and product markets, the creation of suitable institutions and the prevention of exclusion from major markets (Gowan 1999: 69).

McClendon III and Cultural Logic, ISSN 1097-3087 11 Nonetheless, the explanation that McCumber provides for us in turn says very little about how African American philosophers responded to this “something important buried in American philosophy’s not-so-distant past” or whether this “buried something” is something that many African American philosophers “do not want to face.” The notion “that there is something important buried in American philosophy’s not-so- distant past – something that many philosophers do not want to face, even though it explains much about the structure of their discipline” would shift to referencing the persistent racism that historically African American philosophers have faced and continue to confront in contemporary philosophy.

O’Driscoll and Rizzo try to make room for predictable or habitual actions in their version of Austrian theory by arguing that in the case of such actions the individual is actually freely choosing to repeat his activity and hence it can be described as purposeful activity whose contents have been routinized [1985,p. 29].

• “Ambivalent Technologies” of American Citizenship by Gouge, Catherine (2019) - An interrogation of American frontier spaces consequently allows us to understand better American history and national identity, for it is often in narratives of frontier spaces that we find American nationalism most vividly rehearsed. Indeed, what makes frontier spaces indispensable to American national narratives, according to such a logic, is the cultural significance of participating in so-called “frontier” ventures and moving “beyond,” activities which reinforce the symbolic structure of American citizenship Following Foucault’s challenge to a conventional treatment of space “as the dead, the fixed, the immobile,” other theorists of space have characterized space as defined by movement or processes and assert a differential, oppositional relationship between space Catherine Gouge Copyright © 2007 by Catherine Gouge and Cultural Logic, ISSN 1097-3087 8 and place.

• Aimé Césaire and the Crisis of Aesthetic and Political Vanguardism by Maerhofer, John W. (2019) - 4 See Aimé Césaire, Discours sur le colonialisme (Paris: Présence Africaine, 1950); see his later position on the formation of revolutionary decolonization in his post-PCF years in Toussaint Louverture: La Révolution française et le problème colonial (Paris: Présence Africaine, 1961), and Gary Wilder’s critique in his “Race Reason, Impasse: Césaire, Fanon, and the Legacy of Emancipation,” Radical History Review 90 (Fall 2004): 31-60. In his next three full-length books of poetry, Les Armes miraculeuses, Soleil cou coupe, and Corps perdu, Césaire utilizes the poetics of Négritude to expose the particularities of the colonized other through a process of semantic dissection, which Janis Pallister suggests draws attention to the sometimes irresolvable ambiguities of Cesaire’s work after Cahier.24 As Pallister rightly argues, it would be a mistake to assume that Césaire was simply employing the Surrealist renunciation of words in favor of objective chance, as that would diminish the intent to reinscribe the colonized other in the 23 Pierre Bourdieu, Acts of Resistance: Against the Tyranny of the Market (New York: The New York Press, 1998), 19-20. 24 Pallister, Janis, Aimé Césaire (New York: Twayne Publishers, 1991), 29.

Every empirical investigation of this question has found that socioeconomic status (SES) in all its particulars accounts for an overwhelming proportion of the variance in test scores when different schools, towns, or states are compared.1 Ignorance would therefore be the most charitable explanation for the publication of charts that rank schools (or towns or states) by these scores -- or for the practice of using those rankings to draw conclusions about classroom practice.

Study of Neruda's work, social impact, and connection to Chilean culture is clearly a broad enterprise, but examining the representation of Neruda in Il Postino offers a singular perspective on the way in which a figure associated with social struggle has become a material witness (or unwilling accomplice) to the post-political ideology of Chile's neo-liberal economy.

• On the Textualization of History and Sexuality in Hispanism by Dawes, Greg (2020) - (239; my translation)], he is referring, it seems to me, to gay men who willingly reproduce the sexual and gender inequalities under capitalism.22 García Lorca himself rejects this view and fuses his identity politics with the struggle to abolish capitalism.23 Conclusion What I am suggesting then in this essay is that, contrary to currently accepted literary- critical doxa, poststructuralism has been able to argue persuasively about human sexuality only at the cost of dispensing with a dialectical assessment of science and reason. By contrast, in Poeta en Nueva York García Lorca points out many subtleties with respect to (homo)sexuality and perceives his own identity as a gay man as part of a larger struggle for socialist liberation.

• We Are All Activists Now by Miller, Toby (2018) - Criticizing these folks and defining oneself as different, as an activist, cedes two grounds: first, it actually helps ramify the assertion of objectivity, whereas the material grounds of sociology, communications, economics, and management have long rested on an eerie blend of welfare and warfare applications, and secondly, because if the left seeks to keep the notion of activism to itself, the debate about scholarly activism is itself captured, by the right, who merrily point to the absence of inquiry, objectivity, and rationality on the left and identify what should be impartial matters, such as climate science, with socialism. The other is to associate climate science with socialism.

• Student Evaluations, Neoliberal Managerialism, and Networks of Mistrust by Butcher, Ian (2018) - Indeed, in order for student evaluation reform or even the replacement of student evaluations with more holistic methods of evaluation to matter, they must be accompanied by a revaluation of the role and purpose of teachers and students. Such abusive sentiments are not uncommon on student evaluations.

• What’s Wrong with Slactivism? Confronting the Neoliberal Assault on Millennials by McClennen, Sophia A. (2018) - It is time to take seriously the possibility McClennen 301 that the constant denigration of millennial political action may blowback into apathy and disinterest.

• The Gun as Political Object: Transcoding Contemporary Gun Culture under Neoliberal Governmentality by MacClellan, Matthew (2018) - The idea that an atomistic and isolated citizenry who own handguns and rifles amounts to a reasonable check against this kind of oligarchic transformation is not only farcical, but propagating this mytho- political understanding of firearms only further oppresses the hundreds of thousands of American citizens affected by the approximately ten thousand firearms-related deaths documented each year in the United States.34 Of course the larger and overriding argument I am making here is these and other criticisms are have virtually no effect on gun rights organizations and advocates precisely because the politics of gun culture in the United States is not actually about guns in any real, empirical sense at all. The argument for gun rights divided society into two classes – citizen and criminal – and demonstrated deep estrangement from Great Society Government” (209).

• Resisting Neoliberal Education Reform: Insurrectionist Pedagogies and the Pursuit of Dangerous Citizenship by Ross, E Wayne; Vinson, Kevin D. (2013) - The question in teaching (as well as teacher education and school reform) is not whether to allow political discourse in schools or whether to advocate or not, but the nature and extent of political discourse and advocacy. The “ideology of neutrality” that dominates current thought and practices in schools (and in teacher education) is sustained by theories of knowledge and conceptions of democracy that constrain rather than widen civic participation in our society and functions to obscure political and ideological consequences of so-called “neutral” schooling, teaching, and curriculum.

• Schooling for Capitalism or Education for Twenty-First Century Socialism by Cole, Mike (2013) - As in the U.K. and the U.S., formal school education in Venezuela is based on an explicit, politicized conception of education and its role in society (ibid., pp. Sir David Bell, top civil servant at the education department until recently, Milne goes on, says he expects profit-making companies to be introduced to running state schools “very gently.” Keywords: alternative; chávez; community; education; people; revolution; school; socialism; state; students; venezuela
• Hacking Away at the Corporate Octopus by Singer, Alan J. (2013) - A question that must be addressed is whether the British publishing giant Pearson and its Pearson Education subsidy should determine who is qualified to teach and what should be taught in New York State and the United States? Pearson as a partner of the National Governors Association (NGA) and Council of Chief State School Officers has been promoting the common core standards, pushing Singapore as a model for education in the United States and promoting conferences for educational officials where they have “the opportunity to explore emerging international methods, best practices, and policies with an eye to the ways in which they may apply to their local education contexts” (Pearson Foundation, 2008b).

(2019) - For example, Engels writes, the state, from the standpoint of social contract theory, is “nothing more than the idealized kingdom of the bourgeoisie” that type of state came “into existence as a bourgeois democratic republic.” In my estimation, these two contradictory statements produce a tension in Mills’ reputed ideological critique of social contract theory.

• Earthly Plenitude: An Essay on Sovereignty and Labor by Gulli, Bruno (2019) - I believe that for Bataille sovereignty is the link, the middle term, between the objectivity of power represented by communism, where sovereignty and power coalesce (pp.351-357), and Nietzsche’s subjectivism, in which sovereignty operates as the grounding of a new concept of art, one reaching into the common and the possible (pp. In Defense of Sovereignty (1969) — Jacques Maritain holds that sovereignty is another name for absolutism and that, as such, it must be discarded from the discourse on the political sphere — discarded, as we shall soon see, not because it is obsolete, but because it is wrong.

• Governance, State, and Living Labour by Harney, Stefano (2019) - After reviewing a number of prominent public administration and public sector management theorists and journals, this article will go on to outline the kind of state theory that a discipline devoted to studying what it means to labour in, for, and through the state might produce (Harney, 2002). Perhaps such a premise for state theory can make some sense of this reterritorialization and avoid the embarrassment of promoting post-bureaucracy and governance theories without an articulation to the age of superimperialism.

(2019) - In a single paragraph, Mészáros sums up his argument about a socialist state, by an analogy between the capitalist social order and socialist social order.

• A Question of Politics, Economics, or Both? The Neumann-Pollock Debate in Light of Marcuse's "State and Individual under National Socialism" by Piep, Karsten H. (2019) - In his final analysis, Pollock can therefore only discern non-economic or political limitations to productivity under totalitarian state capitalism. For instance, in order to maintain its spiritual and material dominance over the masses, the ruling minority in totalitarian state capitalism is likely to decree a low general standard of living and long drudging work hours (89).

• Deconstructing the Neoliberal Promise of Prosperity and Stability: Who Gains from the Maquiladorization of Mexican Society? by Soderberg, Susanne (2019) - Indeed, Mexico's deeper economic assimilation with the U.S. promoted the concentration and international expansion of Mexico's indigenous (transnationally-oriented) capitals by linking them with the internal reproduction of U.S. capital (Poulantzas 1974). This perspective fails to grasp that capital interests transcend national boundaries.

• On Laruelle and the Radical Dyad: Katerina Kolozova's Materialist Non-Humanism by Erkan, Ekin (2019) - According to Maoilearca, “[t]he radicality of non-philosophy is rooted in its non-decisionism: it is an axiom, or better, a stance or posture, an embodied attitude.” Consequently, as Maoilearca aptly remarks, Laruelle’s is a representationalist critique, whereby the function of non-standard philosophy is to “integrate” philosophical distinctions back into the Real, rather than “reduce, replace, or eliminate” them, thus instating a democratic and immanent revision whereby no view is superior to, or transcends, the other.7 Where Deleuzian immanence relies upon the multiplicity of micro-processual thought (e.g. rhizomes, assemblages, networks), Laruellean immanence is neither based on heterogeneity nor on distinction but, co-opting the Althusserian realist manifesto of determination in the last instance, is predicated on the commonality of the Real, so as to subjugate Being to genericity.

• Lunacy and the Left: Learning from Richard Wright's Lost Confessions by Ramsey, Joseph G. (2019) - 12 See the recent volume Byline: Richard Wright, on Wright’s pro-Communist Harlem journalism. Whereas in the published version of AH Wright sums up the Young- Swann episode as rendering him a “sober and chastened Communist,” as if this lunacy was some kind of exclusively Red rite of passage, in BC Wright concludes this chapter without pointing us back to “Communism” at all, writing merely that following this experience, he became a “thoroughly chastened young man” (emphases added).

• Said, Edward. 200. The End of the "Peace Process": Oslo and After. New York, Pantheon Books. by Eid, Haidar (2020) - What Said finds astonishing is how far, after 52 years, supporters of Israel will go to suppress the fact that these years have gone by without Israel restitution, recognition, or even acknowledgment of Palestinian human rights and without connecting that suspension of rights to Israeli official policies. A comprehensive peace, for him, means that Israel -- which dispossessed 800,000 Palestinians in 1948, occupied the West Bank, Gaza, Golan, and Sinai in 1967, annexed Jerusalem and Golan, invaded Lebanon in 1982, expropriated Palestinian land, built settlements, killed more than 2000 Palestinians during the Intifada (1987-1993), uprooted trees, assassinated Palestinian leaders, banned books, demolished houses, closed universities -- should acknowledge the right of Palestinians to exist as a people, their right to self-determination and to a sovereign, independent state -- not to say their right to human life.

• Political Restructuring of Exploitation: An Historical Materialist Account of he Emergence of Neoliberalism in Canada by Soederberg, Susanne (2020) - Given the necessity of restructuring the labor markets within the productive structure, neoliberal ideology was seen by the ruling classes as an appealing alternative to Keynesianism, since it effectively weakened the position of labor by revoking collectivist rights with state forms of class accommodation, either through legal forms or certain welfare programs. Moreover, a key aspect during the implementation of these integration policies was to make Canadian labor markets appear more attractive for investors by eroding further the material basis of the welfare safety net.

• Anthropology in a Revolutionary Moment: Miskitu Resistance, Anglo Affinity, and the Limits of Gramscian Theory by Parker, David (2020) - As a result, I became increasingly aware that a proper discussion of Miskitu consciousness mandated a thorough reading of Gramsci's Prison Notebooks in order that I might appreciate Hale's theoretical discourse, which focused simultaneous attention on Miskitu agency and the impact of U.S. hegemony. Before presenting Hale's theoretical explanation for the Miskitu's repudiation of the revolutionary project, I will examine a key assumption that permeates Hale's work that flows from his commitment to the revolutionary project and that ultimately problematizes his analysis of Miskitu consciousness.

• Another World Is Possible: Ecosocialism and Thomas More's Utopia by Paul, Ronald (2023) - More recently, in his foreword to the latest edition of More’s Utopia, published to coincide with the 500th anniversary of its original printing, the radical science fiction writer China Miéville pursues a similar line of argument about More’s ideas still retaining the power to provoke us with their contemporary relevance: We can’t do without this book.

• Theorizing Statism and Marx's Methodology Through Ernest Mandel's Late Capitalism by McManus, Matthew (2025) - Neoliberalism could only emerge in a late and post-Cold War context where American global hegemony was (temporarily) unchallenged and a wave of statist and international institutions could serve to mollify the inevitable contradictions to come.13 Indeed Mandel was already cognisant of these burgeoning developments as early as Late Capitalism, stressing how the “multinational company becomes the determinant organizational form of big capital” backed by the power of the “metropolitan countries” relative to their former colonies (Mandel, 1972, pp. 316-81). Because the world and global capital has moved on since the social-democratic heyday in which Mandel wrote there are limitations to Late Capitalism’s assumptions that have to be analyzed.

We establish YPAR as a “figured world” (Holland, Lachicotte, Skinner, & Cain, 1998) that privileges certain academic skills and offers youth agency to work in their own and their communities’ self-interests in attempts to disrupt overarching “fields of power” (Bourdieu, 1993).

Bernstein in his book on Adorno and ethics, and even Detlev Claussen in his recent biographical study of Adorno’s lifework) translate the critical theorist’s sentence to be a claim about “a” life, about Adorno’s personal or individual life, rather than about social or general life.12 That is, they seem to want to take it in a particular but not a universal sense, or at least they bridle at taking as a universal Adorno’s claim that wrong life cannot be lived rightly.

The second reason why I think this question is so important is that, when one addresses it in such a specific way, I think the limits of Zizek's adoption of Lacanian- psychoanalytic categories for the theorisation of public political ideologies soon become clearly evident. Keywords: hegemonic; ideology; lacanian; real; september; sharpe; slavoj; subjects; theory; world; zizek
• Toni Morrison and William Faulkner: The Necessity of a Great American Novelist by Schwartz, Larry (2019) - There is a rather similar basis for Morrison's elevation, as Nancy Peterson reported in her introduction to the special issue of Modern Fiction Studies, Canonizing Toni Morrison: Schwartz 3 Copyright © 2002 by Larry Schwartz and Cultural Logic, ISSN 1097-3087 Toni Morrison has become the name around which the debates of considerable significance to American literature, culture and ideology have amassed -- these include debates about multicultural curricula; about the relation of slavery to freedom; about the possibility of creating literature that is both aesthetically beautiful and politically engaged.3 Morrison's work represents a heightened sense of Faulkner's individualism, and the continued primacy of elitist aesthetic formalism.

• Big Apple Redux: An Interview with Marshall Berman by Monchinski, Tony; Berman, Marshall (2019) - That said, after the World Trade Center got bombed it made me and many other people feel more sympathy for it. But the stuff you were just reading from Nietzsche and the Futurists (and you could have read from a lot of other people too), the idea that killing other people makes you better and somehow raises your level of being, I think that this idea gained currency in the 19th century because you had one-hundred years without a major war.

• Realism and Identity: Rethinking the Categories of Our Lives by Moeller, Carol (2019) - Though such views are not often explicit in postmodernist writings, they underlie them implicitly. Unlike poststructuralists, Reclaiming Identity authors develop a postpositivist framework that transforms, rather than rejects entirely, such notions as objectivity, error, justification, and identity.

• Exerpts from "How to Take an Exam . . . and Remake the World" by Ollman, Bertell (2019) - In his discussion of alienation, this is brought out by focusing on four relations that lie at the heart of the work experience in our society: 1) the relation between the individual and his/her productive activity, in which others determine how it is done, under what conditions, at what speed, and for what wage or salary, and even if and when it is to begin and end; 2) the relation between the individual and the product of that activity, in which others control and use the product for their own purposes (making something does not confer any right to use what one has made); 3) the relation between the individual and other people, particularly with those who control both one's productive activity and its products, where each side pursues their own interests without considering the effect of their actions on the other (mutual indifference and competition becomes the characteristic forms of human interaction); and 4) the relation between the individual and the species, or with what it means to be a human being. The two mysteries with which we began--people's feelings of isolation and powerlessness and the extraordinary power of money--are easily resolved once we recognize they make up two sides of the same phenomenon, which is but the alienated life process of capitalist society.

• Repurposing the Workplace: Hegemony and the Contested Spaces of the Internet by Kurtz, Andrew (2020) - Referring to a 1995 study which attempted to measure the extent to which workers with access to computers and the Internet used this technology for non-work purposes (i.e., playing games, surfing the web, email, etc.), Emily Coleman's assertion marks the site at which productive and consumptive tendencies in capitalism converge around the use of information technologies in the workplace. This tour through the discourse on information technology will have three stops.

• Stephen Spielberg's SAVING PRIVATE RYAN & Nora Ephron's YOU'VE GOT MAIL by Neilson, James (2020) - When at the movie's concluding battle scene a dying Captain John Miller (played by Tom Hanks) implores Private James Ryan to earn this, to earn the sacrifice of those who have saved him, he's also addressing the film's audience, we Boomers and Gen-Xers in our comfortable suburban multiplexes: we must earn the sacrifices of this dying generation who saved Private Ryan, who saved the American way of life itself, those simple suburban pleasures and middle class values Spielberg has repeatedly championed. When he has dealt with serious issues, Spielberg has looked to the past--racism in Amistad, racism and sexism in The Color Purple, anti-semitism and genocide in Schindler's List, war in Saving Private Ryan and Empire of the Sun.

• Poverties of Nation: THE ENDS OF THE EARTH, 'Monetary Subjects without Money,' and Postcolonial Theory by Larsen, Neil (2020) - Along with other mainstream media experts like David Riesman and such praetorian academics as Samuel P. Huntington7 Kaplan has been granted a kind of secular pulpit from which to survey the dangers and 'threats to security' that are now felt to loom out of the post-Cold War shadows. Limiting my remarks to the first section of The Ends of the Earth, in which the author recounts his travels in West Africa, I want briefly to consider certain peculiarities of Kaplan's book that both distance it ethically but also, less obviously, link it ideologically to the postnational trend discussed above.

• Last Words Any World: A Tribute to William S. Burroughs by Youdelman, Jeffrey (2020) - The literary world, after all, is not likely to be flooded by Burroughs wannabes. Burroughs first introduces in the Parties of the Interzone section of Naked Lunch as an agent like me...but for whom or for what no one has ever been able to discover (NL 140). Keywords: burroughs; lunch; new; world; writers; york; youdelman
• Arjun Appadurai's MODERNITY AT LARGE: CULTURAL DIMENSIONS OF GLOBALIZATION by Szeman, Imre (2020) - In attempting to fashion an explanation for ethnic violence, the challenge, Appadurai writes, is to capture the frenzy of ethnic violence without reducing it to the banal and universal core of inner, primordial sentiments (149). Appadurai's account of ethnic violence, which he describes as implosive, rather than explosive, is linked to his understanding of contemporary politics as globalized and transnational. Keywords: appadurai; globalization; imagination; media; new; szeman; world
• Beneath Utopian Skylines: Richard Wright, the Left, and the Struggle for Bigger Thomas by Ramsey, Joe (2023) - It is a striking passage, for starters because Wright links his own violent anti-hero Bigger Thomas, killer of Mary Dalton and Bessie Mears, with a figure recognized as one of the most influential 1 Richard Wright, Native Son. Readers of Native Son might be surprised to learn that Wright saw in Bigger Thomas the stuff that Bolsheviks were made of.

• Survival Strategies, Value, and the Foundation of Ethics by MacNairn, Colin Anthony Smith (2025) - For without the objective foundation of survival needs, ethical values would lack the grounding necessary for coherence and applicability. Thus, in understanding the complexity of human values through the base construct, I argue we begin with survival.

• Stolen Valor: Kleos, the Simple, and the Latent Praxis in Social Distinction by Kirby, Lance (2025) - Hegemony operates fundamentally in relation to subaltern social groups (Crehan 2002). It is necessary to define “the simple” and distinguish it from “common sense” (Green 2018).

• In Lieu of Saussure: A Prologue to Charles Sanders Peirce’s Theory of Signs by San Juan, E. (2018) - Given the Saussurean doctrine that language is a system of differences, Derrida was driven to the belief that all signifieds are in jeopardy; they cannot escape “the play of signifying references that constitute language,” and, with the advent of writing, the circulation of signs finally destroys the concept of sign and its entire logic” (1978, 7). The same goes between sign and referent (the extra- linguistic object to which the sign refers), which has disappeared in the synchronic and systematic dimension of langue (in contrast to parole, the act of speech).

• Democracy and the Multiparty Political System by Crumpacker, Tom (2019) - In the distant past, political parties were not only electoral, they were movements -- of people with similar values who sought by grouping together to use the political system to bring about social change in line with their values. The birth and growth of alternative US value based parties is prohibited by winner take all elections, ballot access laws and numerous other requirements engrained in our state and federal laws over the past century, lack of funding (no business or even union or interest group will contribute to a party having no ability to elect candidates), and primarily by keeping them out of the public debate and discussion by a Catch 22.

• The Politics of Exile: Class, Power, and the "Exilic" by Gimenez, Marth E. (2019) - But just as we seem to have grasped the nature of exile as a political phenomenon, the concrete outcome of political struggles, its complex nature undermines this conclusion, for political exile whether the result of coercion or choice, is just one of the manifold usages of the concept. About Exile The dictionary defines exile as the forced removal from one's native country; as banishment or expulsion from home. Keywords: exile; gimenez; identity; people; political; politics; u.s
• Fahrenheit 9/11 and The Weather Underground by Ramsey, Joseph G. (2019) - Fahrenheit 9/11 is an entertaining and moving film, one which raises crucial concerns about the inequities of US capitalism, the human costs of US militarism, and the propagandistic nature of US media and government. Such anti-radical interpretations tend to imply that the safe and moral way to prevent such leftist excess is to stick to the conformist center of US political discourse, a place that this film makes clear is far from pure.

• Living History: Talking with Tito by Monchinski, Tony; Gerassi, John (2019) - The first break or cooling off was like Olga said, Sartre would judge how people behaved, especially if they did so with people he respected. Tito has worn many hats: journalist, educator (among others at: San Francisco State; John Kennedy Freedom School in Berlin; and since 1978 the Graduate Center and Queens College of the City University of New York), author (of such works as The Great Fear inLatin America; The Premature Antifascists; the only authorized biography of Jean-Paul Sarte, Hated Conscience of His Century Volume I, which Sartre considered a continuation of his own autobiography), raconteur, activist and father.

• Capitalist Schooling: An Interview with Bertell Ollman by Monchinski, Tony; Ollman, Bertell (2019) - Marxism encourages us not to moralize about good and evil and who is more good or more evil when you are confronted with many people capable of such actions. We hardly have such people now. Keywords: bertell; marxist; monchinski; ollman; people; students; university
• Social Justice, Marxism, and Education in the Seiche Time by Gibson, Rich (2019) - School now is not merely school, but the point of origin for health care, food, and daytime shelter for many people. School may be one of many points where philosophy meets political economy, history; but school in North American, as a result in the practical shifts of the economy and parallel politics, is now where what people do counts--most.

• NEA-AFT-AFL-CIO? 'Not Just No, But HELL NO!' by Gibson, Rich (2020) - Like the rank and file of much of the labor movement, NEA delegates were met with an onslaught of crude campaigning for a leadership proposal many of them earnestly hoped to seriously critique. Like their AFL- CIO counterparts, NEA delegates, when given a chance with a secret ballot, ignored the leaders' demands.

• Ignoring the Negro: Commodity, Capitalism, and Cultural Appropriation by Baugh, Tony (2025) - It has become the predominant money-making musical genre in the world, this music created, cultivated, and innovated by Black people, especially by Black men. On the matter of the war effort, Du Bois recalls the North and the South had two normative responses: the North, where the de jure institution of slavery was ended in 1833, poco a poco allowed Black men to fight in the Union Army; the South was dead set against enlisting Black soldiers.

Let’s take Marx’s critique of political economy as example: the great majority of the scholars of this topic have considered only certain periods of Marx’s development, often jumping straight from the Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts of 1844 to the Grundrisse (1857-58), and from the latter to the first volume of Capital (1867), or, at best, examining The Poverty of Philosophy (1847).

The separation of the doers from the conditions of doing leaves behind bodies severed from their vital organs, but it is the whole process of capital production that reproduces and radicalizes this separation.

• Shakespeare and the Drama of Capital by Geil, Melissa Hull (2019) - 6 The section of the scene Marx selects involves Dogberry determining the best man to be the constable while Dogberry is away from the watch. Marx capitalizes on this paradox through his own use of art to represent the incongruities of capital itself. Keywords: capital; dogberry; geil; hull; hull geil; marx; melissa; melissa hull; play; shakespeare
• Social Contract as Bourgeois Ideology by Ferugson II, Stephen C. (2019) - In a newly published anthology on social contract theory, David Boucher and Paul Kelly have suggested that social contract theories fall into three broad categories: moral, civil and constitutional.18 And, lastly, Charles Mills has distinguished between a demystificatory domination (or exclusionary) contract and a mainstream consensual (or inclusivist) contract.19 While all of these different typologies are useful, for our purposes, we will divide contractarianism into two main traditions: classical and modern. In fact, social contract theory has become the hegemonic tradition in liberal social and political philosophy. Keywords: bourgeois; contract; ferguson; hobbes; ideology; marx; philosophy; production; relations; social; society; theory
• Gramsci Outside of Marx? Defining Culture in Gramscian Terms by Raney, Vanessa (2019) - Keen also provides one of the more extensive accounts of Gramsci's personal and work background in chapter II (Antonio Gramsci). Therefore, while political culture or a culture of politics is certainly one aspect of culture, culture to Gramsci is not defined by power alone.

• Why Marx, Why Now? A Recollection of Dunayevskaya's "Power of Negativity" by Pomeroy, Anne F. (2019) - Dialectical negation is the engine of movement -- human negation is dialectical creation. Marx's focus, however, was not on Subject in the abstract but on the subject as human being and thus also on the human condition. Keywords: dunayevskaya; freedom; hegel; human; idea; marx; negation; revolution; self
• The Logo as Fetish: Marxist Themes in Naomi Klein's No Logo by Sharpe, Matthew (2019) - [Klein, 2000: 8] It is only when brand names cease being mere signifiers of products, but also (like Kraft) become in themselves products to be brought and sold, that Klein will speak of logos. You could think of Klein's argument here concerning the difference between brands and logos, that is, as broadly parallel to that which Marx makes about producers versus proletarians.

• Antonio, Robert J., Ed. (2003). Marx and Modernity: Key Readings and Commentary. Malden, MA: Blackwell Publishing. by Welsh, John F. (2019) - Without a doubt, many Marxists and others on the left will dispute the assertions about the ambiguity of Marxist political analysis in the modern world, but the discussion is important to all of those who believe that Marx's work is central to human liberation. To what extent do Marx's analysis of value, commodity fetishism and capital accumulation mesh with contemporary analyses of modernity? Keywords: analysis; marx
• Praxis and the Danger: The Insurgent Ontology of Antonio Gramsci by Gulli, Bruno (2019) - For Marx labor which is not productive is not the same as unproductive labor. The principle of its reproduction does not lie within itself, but in its original owner, in the subject that has alienated it; it does not lie in living labor as labor power, but in living labor as the worker.

• Re-Considering the Meaning of "Scientific Management" from a Marxist Perspective by Öncü, Ahmet; Köse, Ahmet Hasim (2019) - According to Husserl, at the root of the discontent lies objectivistic reason and the objectivistic scientific method formed in the image of this kind of reason: Objectivistic science holds what it calls the objective world to be the totality of what is, without paying any attention to the fact that no objective science can do justice to the subjectivity that achieves science. For Taylor, management as science is a task whose sole purpose is to falsify the common belief that the fundamental interests of employers and employees are necessarily antagonistic. Keywords: ahmet; capital; engineer; human; köse; management; marx; science; subject; taylor; öncü
• The Labor of Fire: On Time and Labor in the Grundrisse by Gulli, Bruno (2019) - The fact that under capital labor is not able to return to its immediacy is due to its being posited by capital as the essential moment in the mediation through which alone capital relates to its object. Exchange value, the substance of money (221), is nothing but a given amount of labor time contained in a commodity. Keywords: capital; form; gullì; labor; living; logic; marx; money; production; time; value
• Marx and the Foundations of the Critical Theory of Morality and Ethics by Brown, B. Ricardo (2019) - Marx Beyond Marx. For Marx states that there is nothing simpler for a Hegelian than to posit production and consumption as identical (1973:93), but it is not Marx's goal to prove this identity, but to critique it, to expose the non-identity of capital and labor, and thereby show that production is not merely consumption, but also the consumption of difference: productive consumption Marx calls it.

Joines and Cultural Logic, ISSN 1097-3087 Contretemps: Derrida's Ante and the Call of Marxist Political Philosophy Richard E. Joines However, the form of my gesture would seem to include, at a minimum, the demand that one read, a demand which remains, for its part, at once theoretical and practical: it asks that people take into account the nature and form--I would go so far as to say the avowed intention--of this gesture.

• Marx's Atheism and the Ideal of Self-Realization by O'Meara, William (2020) - So the only way in which human selves can have dignity, a value which is beyond price, a value of being worthwhile for their own sake, is through the universal or moral valuation of every human person as worthwhile for that person's own sake. To treat things, money, or capital as the real wealth that human beings should seek is to make a fetish of these commodities; it is to endow these things with a quality of being worthwhile for their own sake whereas they are or should be only means useful for the development of human rationality and freedom. Keywords: human; labor; marx; person; self
• Spinoza and Marx by Holland, Eugene W. (2020) - Saggio su potere e potenza in Baruch Spinoza (1981).23 Where Macherey offered a purely philosophical, internal reading of Spinoza (and Hegel), Negri (while favorably citing Macherey on several occasions) situated Spinoza and the evolution of his philosophy in the context of 17th-century Dutch society, and made the relevance of Spinozan materialism to contemporary Marxism an explicit theme. Notes 1 On the possible influence of Spinoza on Marx see the articles by Maximilien Rubel (Marx a la rencontre de Spinoza 7-28), Alexandre Matheron (Le Traite Theologico- Politique vu par le jeune Marx 159-212), and Albert Igoin (De l'ellipse de la theorie politique de Spinoza chez le jeune Marx 213-28) in Cahiers Spinoza 1 (Summer 1977), which also reprints the hand-copied passages (translated into French) in their entirety.

• The Spirit of Value: How Brandom's Hegel Can Sublate the One-sided Readings of Marx in the Moseley-Heinrich Debate by Sherer-Clarke, Jack (2024) - As Murray puts it, “Exchange value (money) is the necessary form of appearance of value (which is congealed, socially necessary abstract labour).”32 Consequently, Bellofiore writes, we can understand value as “an “inner” movement of thinking becoming an object that is externalised in exchange value (money)”; using language very similar to Brandom’s Hegel, he describes this as “a movement or process capable of making explicit an implicit form. Keywords: abstract; brandom; capital; commodities; essence; exchange; form; hegel; heinrich; ibid; labour; marx; theory; value
• Complex Totality and The Arcades Project: Towards a Messy Materialism of the Lebenswelt by Wagnon, Daniel (2024) - As Althusser states, capital necessitates select cognitive tendencies, behavioral activities, and imperatives of action are to be followed and optimized, such that “economic success or pressure” infuses the entire life of agency at present, revealing elements immanent to subjectivity that are the by-products of the structure of capital, wherein the value-form imperative originates not in the 14 RC pp. Thus, when read together they help illuminate the point of each other’s project, where Benjamin provides the concrete analysis Althusser lacks, while Althusser provides the formal structural analysis that is lacking in Benjamin’s work, and in this sense, when read together they reveal to us a very fertile strain of Dialectical Materialism.35 Part 3.

• The Illegitimacy of Student Debt by Blacker, David J. (2013) - However difficult it may prove to be, though, the elimination of higher education debt is necessary and just. Average indebtedness for all college graduates continues to grow, skyrocketing into the many tens of thousands and is in many cases dramatically higher.3 Moreover, student debt is legally and perniciously special, as since 1998 it has been rendered largely undischargeable in personal bankruptcy proceedings.4 The Orwellian-titled 2005 “Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act” (the title of which implies that the “abuse” is on the student-borrower side) further reinforced the non-dischargeability of student debt by including private loan providers in the state-enforced protection racket that will go to almost any lengths to chase down debt runaways. Keywords: capital; capitalist; debt; education; human; labor; life; public; school; slavery; student; student debt; system; time
• The Global Capitalist System by Mayer, Tom (2019) - Naming the System shows that official statistics underestimate the amount of capitalist unemployment, and that unemployment is associated with a wide range of medical and social problems. Among the things I found particularly attractive were the treatment of capitalism as an integrated global system rather than a loose collection of national practices, the author's informed sympathy about the travails of working people, and his sustained critique of neoclassical economic theory. Keywords: capitalist; countries; labor; mayer; system; unemployment
• The Corporation. Directed by Mark Achbar and Jennifer Abbot. by Ramsey, Joseph G. (2019) - On this note, perhaps the most conspicuous absence in The Corporation's long line of experts is corporate-raider Ralph Nader, whose biographical trajectory from long-time regulatory and reform advocate to anti-corporate political campaigner could have added a recognizably and explicitly political edge to this otherwise radical work. Major corporations after all, practically speaking, via campaign contributions, incessant lobbying efforts, and corporate control of media discourse itself, have to a remarkable degree co-opted the leadership of both major US parties, the White House, most of the Congress, and most regulatory agencies.

• Derailing the Bush Crazy Train: An Interview with Frances Fox Piven by Monchinski, Tony (2019) - The Republican National Convention is coming to town and I wanted to ask Professor Piven a few questions about what social movements could expect from the upcoming election and what role they can play to help derail the Bush crazy train (apologies to Ozzy Osbourne). but it also matters because social movements ultimately succeed when they cause disagreements, dissentions, divisions in the electorate. Keywords: bush; labor; left; monchinski; movements

• Top Cover: On Administrative Activism in the Neoliberal Academy by DiLeo, Jeffrey R. (2018) - Not only will this encourage good faculty with good intentions to serve their universities as administrators, it will give the university the best chance of navigating through the rough waters of neoliberalism to a better place for higher education. Without a strong auto-critique discourse to counter-act the strong discourse of neoliberalism, resistance becomes difficult, if not impossible.5 While the fight against the repressive discourse of neoliberalism is often fashioned as one without the support of university administration, this is not the best approach.

From 1936 until 1947, Worker sportswriters pounded away at the sense of injustice, denial, and apathy that surrounded baseball; shamed the sport into defending itself against racism; and educated -- and even convinced -- many readers about the importance of their crusade.

• Michael E. Brown, 'The Historiography of Communism' by Heideman, Paul M. (2019) - As Brown notes, texts like Draper’s, which don’t see the history of the Left as rooted in the history of American society, have “bearing on deciding how the history of American society ought to be understood – e.g. as the history of democracy rather than the history of capitalism” (3). Asking again what this Paul M. Heideman Copyright © 2009 by Paul M.

• Preselective Affinities: Surrealism and Marxism in Latin America by Larsen, Neil (2020) - When José Arcadio Buendía and the four men of his expedition managed to take the armor apart, they found inside a calcified skeleton with a copper locket containing a woman's hair around its neck.6 Ice, magnets, magnifying glasses: these are just the sorts of mundane, slightly aged objects Surrealism appropriates as the materials for its montage. Montage, that is, seems here to furnish what Benjamin was the first to term a dialectical image, not just of the possible unity (as desired by Surrealism) of the modern subject crippled by the rationalizing laws of civilization, but of the possible, trans-subjective unity of historical time as such.

• Regis Debray's MEDIA MANIFESTOS by Szeman, Imre (2020) - It is simply that Debray overstates the limits of these fields, as well as the unique quality of the practice that he refers to as mediology, which he seems to see as the first to ever undertake questions of signification and communication from a materialist (though not Marxist) perspective. Pierre Bourdieu's off-handed dismissal of mediology in On Television is perhaps not entirely without merit (50); one has the sense, especially of a practice eagerly reported on in Wired,1 of a kind of strategic re-packing of concepts to be sold with the aid of a shiny new moniker--as if to suggest that Debray has finally succumbed to the logic of the intellectual marketplace that he decried earlier in his Teacher, Writers , Celebrities (1981).

• Resolving the Contradictions of Academic Unionsim by Noonan, Jeffrey (2018) - My focus in this essay will be the damage the austerity agenda is causing to public universities and how faculty unions can play a leadership role in building a broad-based social movement against austerity and in support of the democratic and critical power of higher education. Faculty unions, whose members have the time and institutional space to think critically about the social causes of the forces reshaping their work lives, and with (in the case of full time tenured faculty) job security unparalleled in the broader public and private sector, should be capable of translating their members’ interest in protecting their own conditions of work into the first line of defence against austerity in universities.

Few public school students, particularly urban students of color, will be trading in their vouchers for admission to an elite private school whose tuition is far more than the typical per pupil expenditure in an urban school district.

• Popper’s Double Standard of Scientificity in Criticizing Marxism by Verikukis, Hristos (2019) - Popper, K. (1985), Popper Selections, edited by Miller, D., Princeton University Press, Princeton. This inconsistency consists in the following: when Popper criticizes Marxism, he employs falsifiability as a criterion of scientificity; however, when he advocates his own version of social science and claims its scientificity, he employs a different criterion which is not as strict; thus, he ends up with a double standard — one for Marxism and one for his own theory.

Oliver Cox After the social movements that energized the social sciences literature in the second half of the 20th century died down, sociological theory returned to its established tracks: the study of the classics (Marx, Weber and Durkheim) and the moderns (a heterogeneous mix of grand theory a la Talcott Parsons, middle ground and micro level theories).

• Robert Albritton, Dialectics and Deconstruction in Political Economy. New York: Palgrave, 2001. Softcover. 203 pages. by Saraka, Sean (2019) - Albritton asserts the superiority of the Uno-Sekine method in each case, and this allows him both to highlight the finer points of this approach to political economy, and to speculate on its implications for social theory as a whole. In the wake of sustained efforts to reconstruct the practice of social theory around quasi-literary modes of exposition (as with Derrida and deconstruction) and anti- conceptual modes of inquiry (as with Foucault and the various discursive genealogies derived from his work), the return to Hegel evident in some quarters may be in fact be representative of a more general and diffuse desire to reaffirm the power of theory and conceptuality in themselves.

• Transforming Race Matters: Towards a Critique-al Cultural Studies by Sahay, Amrohini (2020) - Moreover, such an intervention has primarily been conceived within the terms of an appreciation of cultural difference undertaken through a valorization of previously excluded or ignored cultural practices and experiences or through positing an excess-ive difference as a subversion of the hegemonic processes of signification at the site of representation. My argument here is that such an appreciative politics of cultural difference3 has emerged, ultimately, as part of a much wider development in (left)liberal knowledges to contain the critique of cultural difference as an alibi of capitalist social relations deployed to ensure the unavailability of any systematic knowledge of the material (economic) difference between exploiter and exploited informing all cultural practices and relations.

• 'For We Are Neither One Thing Nor The Other': Passing for Croat in Vedrana Rudan’s Night by Levy, Michele Frucht (2019) - Initially accepting the prevailing stereotype of Serbs, then gradually distancing herself from her “friends,” Tonka here discloses both her need to pass for Croat and the pain of that closeted Serb self with which she has begun to identify. This paper argues that Tonka, neither Croat nor Serb, mirroring the racialized violence of her constituent ethnicities, dons Fanon’s mask when she opts to pass for Croat, thereby suffering the psychic trauma Fanon diagnosed as the problem of “the colonized.” Let us first consider how the West essentialized and racialized Balkan ethnicities.

Chapter Three is particularly strong in its discussion of Marx and the insistence on internationalism -- a welcome contrast to many other writers, including many anti-globalists, leftists, and even some socialists, whose vision of a just society has been limited to their own country.

In the spirit of Harvey’s question, then, I will briefly explore features of a couple of specific emancipation narratives, deliberately selecting those that appear to be resistant to the dominant neoliberal paradigm.

Jameson's work -- as a socially symbolic act that performs imaginary resolutions to the real conflicts, crisis and contradiction of the period -- will thus by interpreted according to the methodological prescriptions and analytical tactics that are regularly employed by Jameson himself.2 As will be argued, cognitive mapping responds to and seeks to move beyond three distinctly postmodern political problems.

• Neil McKenna, "The Secret Life of Oscar Wilde" (London: Century, 2003) by Bounds, Philip (2019) - The purpose of The Secret Life of Oscar Wilde is not simply to show that Wilde was gay (a fact which not even the school syllabuses have been able to cover up) but that his entire way of life was a sort of technicolour exercise in the politics of resistance. The biggest weakness of The Secret Life of Oscar Wilde is a by-product of its greatest strength -- the sheer obsessiveness with which McKenna traces the development of Wilde's sexuality.

• Vulgarity Squared: Marxism and the Interest of Taste by Jarrells, Anthony (2020) - In Sur Brecht et Marx, an essay that focuses specifically on this aspect of Brecht's theory, Althusser explains that just as Marx did not do away with philosophy, but instead initiated a new practice of it, so Brecht did not do away with theatre: Brecht does not kill theatre, says Althusser, theatre exists; it plays a determining role. But in Brecht Sprinker finds something more than a realistic rendering of class relations: he finds a concept for understanding how class relations can be exposed in art--namely, Verfremdung: the estrangement effect.

• Haim Gordon's QUICKSAND: ISRAEL, THE INTIFADA AND THE RISE OF POLITICAL EVIL IN DEMOCRACIES by Katz, Adam (2020) - Gordon's aim is to recover and deploy the category of political evil, and to recenter politics on the struggle against such evil, which he argues has been buried under the functionalism and pragmatism of contemporary political discourse (academic and popular), and which provides him with a powerful language of denunciation and analysis. Gordon's appropriation of Arendt is instructive in its contrast with the way in which Arendt has been taken up by postmodern political theorists like Susan Bickford, Lisa Disch, Bonnie Honig and others.3 For these theorists, it is Arendt's performative and dialogic theses that are privileged at the expense of Arendt's concern with political evil and anti-political violence as the destruction of a common world where politics can first become possible.

• Deidre Lynch and William B. Warner, eds., CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS OF THE NOVEL by Comitini, Patricia (2020) - Though unsettling to the power structure in New Zealand, the effect of producing a kind of literature that challenges the aesthetic ideology of the Pakeha, while criticism develops a knowledge of the discursive and reading practice of the Maori that runs counter to European aesthetic ideologies, provides for a powerful Maori communal identity and knowledge: the function of cultural production suggests that novels might be understood as communal possessions- -treasured objects, displays of skill, and sources of knowledge binding people together--but also as challenges to non-Maori, occasions for debate and even for revenge (82). The critical approaches surveyed enable an account of not only the work novels perform in the production of culture and (trans)cultures, but how novels are produced out of cultural/political struggles. Keywords: anthology; comitini; heteroglossia; institutions; novel

• A Contribution Towards a Critical Theory of School Shootings by Dapprich, Matthias (2018) - Even though this is common among modern individuals and accompanied by adequate psychological and moral “techniques,” some radicalize the ideal they have constructed of themselves and the society they live in. Because the material aspirations of modern individuals only exist in the form of proving themselves in the competitive system of capitalism, people accept the struggle within the hierarchy of occupations as their sole means for material well- being and, therefore, demonstrate their abstract free will (Held [ed.] 2003-2009: paragraphs 1-4).

Even when he was alive, Benjamin presented and developed different facets of his theoretical influences to different, even antagonistic, close friends.1 After his death, these ambivalences helped to foster almost as many Benjamins as interpreters of him.

• From Prague to Paris: Formalism as a Method of Literary Study by Sprinker, Michael (2020) - While the lineaments of a full-blown theory of literary art can be gleaned from it, no such theory is made explicit in the text that has come down to us.

• Achieving Subjectlessness: Reassessing the Politics of Adorno's Subject of Modernity by Daniel, Jamie Owen (2020) - 8 Adorno's English translator renders his use of Hegel's term, unglueckliches Bewusstsein, as conscious unhappiness, which distracts the English reader from the critique of Hegel Adorno is obviously trying to make.

• Harry M. Benshoff's MONSTERS IN THE CLOSET: HOMOSEXUALITY AND THE HORROR FILM by Tipton, Nathan (2020) - For Benshoff, however, the screening room quickly morphs into a Grand Guignol-styled Theatre of Blood, and gays become metaphorical monsters whose sole purpose in horror films is to subvert society before meeting their expected demise.

• Ontogenesis of the Being of Mathematics: The Model by Wagner, Guilherme (2025) - The materialization of the formal, as the production of a genericity, is always contradictory and insufficient for the social value that inculcated the ought-to-be; the return of mathematical genericity to the real, as a formal structure of mathematical idealities, is absolutely insufficient for human activity of which genericity materializes and seeks to participate. Mathematical formality was already present in nuce in the genesis of mathematical genericity; however, the Greek historical-social concreteness allowed the retreat of natural barriers in the field of Mathematics, consolidating its formal character.

• Philosophical Realism and the Aesthetic in Michael Sprinker's Literary Criticism by Lewis, Tom (2020) - Michael's perspectives derive initially from the familiar Althusserian conception of art as distinct from both ideology and science.

I reflect back on this, not only because it proves that I could withstand the ultimate acid test of Michael Sprinker's critical intelligence and come out still feeling as though I had half a wit or two, but because of how it reflects, more accurately, on Michael's almost legendary combativeness.

• Fredric Jameson, The Cultural Turn: Selected Writings on the Postmodern 1983-1998. Verso, 1998. 206pp. ISBN 1-85984-182-1 by Mooers, Colin (2020) - In Postmodernism and Consumer Society, originally published in 1982, Jameson sets out his analysis of the major tropes of postmodern culture -- the substitution of pastiche for the satirical impulse of parody; the predilection for nostalgia and the flight from history as embodied in new forms of populist architecture; and the closing off of alternatives to capitalism through a fixation on the perpetual present. In Jameson's view, moralistic dismissals of postmodernism are useless; much more important is the task of furnishing a theoretical understanding of 'the postmodern moment' within the totality of capitalist social, political and cultural relations.

• Critical Pedagogy in Neoliberal Times: The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism and Pedagogy and Praxis in the Age of Empire by Hursh, David W. (2019) - She also details the less well-known adoption of neoliberal policies in post- apartheid South Africa, where Blacks obtained political freedom in exchange for consenting to whites implementing neoliberal economic policies that have, incredibly, worsened rather than improved the living conditions for Blacks. Furthermore, the U.S. government provides economic incentives to U.S. corporations, including reduced trade barriers, all of which leads to describing our Iraqi policies as a “reverse Marshall plan,” in which wealth is taken out of Iraq and sent to the U.S. Klein also reveals how China’s extraordinary economic growth is a result of neoliberal policies that include “low taxes and tariffs, corruptible officials and, most of all, a plentiful low-wage workforce that for many years, would be unwilling to risk demanding decent salaries or the most basic workplace protections for fear of the most violent reprisals” (p. 190).

• Heating up the Neoliberal Agenda: The GOP on Economic Stimulus by Fazio, Jennifer (2019) - Therefore, tax cuts that are normally touted for their supply-side effects are inappropriate for short-term stimulus because they do not directly address the current problem of the economy's short-term inability to use its existing capacity to produce goods and services. Tax cuts scheduled for the future actually exert a negative effect on the economy in the short run by immediately raising long-term interest rates and thereby increasing the cost of business investment and home mortgages.

• Can the Subaltern Speak and Other Transcendental Questions by Montag, Warren (2020) - We might say of Spivak what Althusser said of Lacan--that the legendary difficulty of the essay is less a consequence of the profundity of its subject matter than its tactical objectives: to forestall the blows of critics . . . To acknowledge this does not automatically imply a criticism of Spivak (which is precisely why I cited the case of Lacan the importance of whose work for me at least is unquestionable): after all, tactics are dictated by the features of the concrete situation.

Yet despite all this pressure to the contrary, there are still a significant number of scientists, like Blumberg and Tomasello, who are more interested in seeking the truth about, among other things, human behavior, and who manage to get by even though they constitute a minority in their respective fields.
