Author: Paul Bowman File Type: pdf Post-Marxism versus Cultural Studies is an innovative exploration of the ethical and political significance of Cultural Studies and Post-Marxist discourse theory. It argues that although Cultural Studies and post-Marxism tend to present themselves as distinct entities, they actually share a project - that of taking on the political. Post-Marxism presents itself as having a developed theory of political strategy, while Cultural Studies has claimed to be both practical and political. Bowman examines these intertwined, overlapping, controversial and contested claims and orientations by way of a deconstructive reading that is led by the question of intervention what is the intervention of post-Marxism, of Cultural Studies, of each into the other, and into other institutional and political contexts and scenes?Through considerations of key aspects of Cultural Studies and cultural theory, Post-Marxism versus Cultural Studies argues that the very thing that is fundamental to both of these politicised app **Review In the first sustained scholarly assessment of the scandal of post-Marxism Bowman traces the struggle -- both intellectual and political -- of academic Marxism to keep its footing on the long march through the institution. As the versus that hinges his title suggests, neither post-Marxism nor Cultural Studies remain unscathed by Bowmans staging of this face off. Post-Marxism versus Cultural Studies rewards the serious reader concerned to come to terms with the discursive politics of the contemporary university. John Mowitt, Professor of Cultural Studies and Comparative Literature, University of Minnesota This is an exciting field which is beginning to open up a sustained thinking about politics from a post-structuralist perspective This is an ambitious book which will make a significant impact in its field.

Author: Ralf Koerrenz File Type: pdf This volume examines Otto Friedrich Bollnows philosophical approach to education, which brought Heideggers existentialism together with other theories of what it is to be human. This introduction to Bollnows work begins with a summary of the theoretical influences that Bollnow synthesized, and goes on to outline his highly original account of experiential educational reality--namely, as a reality alternately harmonious or broken, but fundamentally guided. This book will be of value to scholars and students of education and philosophy, especially those interested in bringing larger existential questions into connection with everyday educational engagement.
