Spectres of post-Marxism? Reassessing key post- Marxist texts: A reply to Stuart Sim
This reply to the article ‘Spectres of post-Marxism? Reassessing key post-Marxist texts’ focuses on two key moments that emerge from Stuart Sim's argument: the identification of the complexity of the signifier ‘post-Marxism’; and post-Marxism's engagement with relativism via postmodernity and poststructuralism. In developing this argument Sim offers a close reading of what are considered to be four key post-Marxist texts by Baudrillard, Lyotard, …
The Sociology of Postmarxism
Postmarxism is often depicted as a point of intersection for a set of inter-disciplinary theories that are in themselves complex and dense. Bringing the postmarxist theory of Ernesto Laclau into the field of political sociology through a close reading and analysis of postmarxism and its relationship to ‘the social’, A Sociology of Postmarxism develops key postmarxist arguments in an engaging and sociologically applicable way. Indeed, through a th…
The Role of Hegemonic Masculinity and Hollywood in the New Korea
We argue that during the 1940s Hollywood films had an important role to play in the creation of a postwar South Korean society based on the new global U.S. hegemony. The connections between political and economic change in South Korea and socio-cultural factors have hitherto scarcely been explored and, in this context, we argue that one of the key socio-cultural mechanisms that supported and even drove social change in the immediate post-war peri…
Hegemonic Masculinity
The concept of hegemonic masculinity is examined in terms of its foundational definitions and theoretical influences, its relevance for the analysis of men, women, and gender relations, its theoretical and empirical revisions and challenges, and transnational and contemporary changes to it, before some brief final comments
"Korean Cinema's Female Writers-Directors and the "Hegemony of Men
The South Korean film industry represents a masculine-privileged gender regime that over the last few decades has shown a newfound strength both at home and abroad. However, challenging this masculine privilege are a growing number of important though unheralded female writers-directors operating in both the independent and commercial sectors of the industry. In this article, the authors present a case study that explores the work of five of thes…
Re-Thinking Aspiration and Hegemonic Masculinity in Transnational Context
This article offers a contribution to the on-going critical analysis of the concept hegemonic masculinity. However, not in a way that seeks the demise or supersession of the concept but rather to offer a theoretical development that brings into focus certain important and specific claims: (1) that masculinity is something men do yet, (2) hegemonic masculinity requires all men to position themselves in relation to it. In trying to build some conne…
The Korean "Cinema of Assimilation" and the Construction of Cultural Hegemony in the Final Years of Japanese Rule
During the late 1930s, as Japan escalated war preparations with China, and after GovernorGeneral Minami formalized the assimilationist ideology of "Japan and Korea as One Body", cinema in Korea experienced a fundamental transformation. Korean filmmakers had little choice but to make co-productions that aimed to draw Koreans toward Japanese ways of thinking and living, while promoting a sense of loyalty to the Japanese Empire. Within this colonial…
Tino Rangatiratanga and Mana Motuhake: Nation, state and self-determination in Aotearoa New Zealand
This article brings perspectives from three Māori activists, each promoting issues of self-determination in different ways. It centres on tino rangatiratanga and mana motuhake, two concepts that inform modern Māori activism and life and practice, and more recently conceptions of Māoridom as "nation". Using a Gramscian framework we argue that the New Zealand state has over time created a notion of one people within one state, and has in the past i…

Hegemonic Masculinity in the Theory of Hegemony: A Brief Response to Christine Beasley's “Rethinking Hegemonic Masculinity in a Globalizing World
The article “Rethinking Hegemonic Masculinity in a Globalizing World” by Christine Beasley (2008) begins to articulate a set of theoretical issues that for masculinities studies today, marked as it is by the “ethnographic moment,” are of some considerable importance because they offer a much needed infusion of “realism” to the abstractions of “sex-role theory . . . biological essentialism, religious revivalism and mystical generalities” that have…
From Ethico-political Hegemony to Postmarxism
Recent literature on postmarxism has neglected a direct and strong engagement with Gramsci’s theory of hegemony. What has happened through this disengagement is that postmarxism has been imbued with the poststructuralism of Jacques Lacan, Jacques Derrida, and Michel Foucault. That has rendered it incapable of becoming a theory that can engage the social as well as the political. This paper attempts to reengage with Gramsci’s theory of hegemony an…
Challenging Hegemonic Masculinity
In the past twenty years there has been a growing interest in the issues surrounding men and masculinity. Driven primarily by the second-wave feminist critique of the legitimacy or hegemony of masculine practice and culture, the hegemony of men in social spheres such as the family, law, and the workplace can no longer be taken for granted. Beginning with the work of Antonio Gramsci and a focus on developing the full complexity of his theory of he…
