Cultural Theory After the Contemporary

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Contemporary cultural studies have marginalized "agency," namely the power of people to shape social life. Here, Stephen Tumino offers a new materialist challenge to these tendencies and articulates an internationalist cultural theory that puts global agency in the forefront of cultural analysis.

Rezensionen

" Cultural Theory After the Contemporary is among the most important works in materialist cultural theory. Tumino offers a singular and incisive Marxist analysis of daily life that lays bare the complicity of the dominant theories with the culture of capitalism. Commanding in its scope and gravity - an indispensable work." - Steven Wexler, California State University, Northridge
