Post-Marxism: A Reader
This source-book takes students through a wide range of readings from philosophy, politics, and sociology, to human geography, international relations, and feminist studies. Bringing together statements from leading 20th-century thinkers such as Derrida, Lyotard, Baudrillard, and Laclau and Mouffe, and with the editor's substantial introduction, this is an ideal teaching text, inspiring debate about the future of Marxism as a cultural theory
Spectres of post-Marxism? Reassessing key post-Marxist texts
The emergence of a movement of post-Marxist thought from the 1970s onwards brought to attention a series of texts all offering a highly critical reading of the Marxist tradition, broadly speaking from the perspective of poststructuralist and postmodernist theory. Jean- François Lyotard's Libidinal economy , Jean Baudrillard's The mirror of production , Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe's Hegemony and socialist strategy , and Jacques Derrida's Spe…
Post-Truth, Scepticism & Power
This book examines the concept of post-truth and the impact it is having on contemporary life, bringing out both its philosophical and political dimensions. Post-truth is contextualised within the philosophical discourse of truth, with particular reference to theories of scepticism and relativism, to explore whether it can take advantage of these to claim any intellectual credibility. Sim argues that post-truth cannot be defended on either scepti…
Art, Science and Communities of Practice
Through editorials such as Bob Root-Bernstein’s ArtScience “manifesto” in Leonardo Vol. 44, No. 3 (2011), Leonardo has long encouraged a broader and more inclusive understanding of the subtle interplay between science and art, and the belief that as individuals and cultural agents we all blend both aspects in our respective fields of endeavor. However, discourse and collaboration across the arts, sciences and humanities is not yet a mature and fu…
Socially Desirable Responding: Enhancement and Denial in 20 Countries
This article investigated the dimensionality, measurement invariance, and cross-cultural variations of social desirability. A total of 3,471 university students from 20 countries completed an adapted version of the Marlowe–Crowne scale. A two-dimensional structure was revealed in the pooled sample, distinguishing enhancement (endorsement of positive self-description) and denial (rejection of negative self-description). The factor structure was su…
Post-Marxism: An Intellectual History
This book traces the crystallisation of post-Marxism as a specific theoretical position in its own right and considers the role played in its development by post-structuralism, postmodernism and second-wave feminism. It examines the history of dissenting tendencies within the Marxist tradition and considers what the future prospects of post-Marxism are likely to be
Miscellaneous Texts I: Aesthetics and Theory of Art, and Miscellaneous Texts II: Contemporary Artists (together volume 4 of Jean-Francois Lyotard: Writings on Contemporary Art and Artists)
It is the fate of major thinkers to have their ephemera picked over once they are dead, and Jean-François Lyotard has proved no exception, hence the undertaking by Leuven University Press to devote volume 4 of their 6-volume series of Lyotard’s Writings on Contemporary Art and Artists to such material. Volume 4 consists of two separate books of miscellaneous texts on aesthetics/art theory and contemporary artists respectively, containing forty-ei…
