Class in Culture

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"Class in Culture" demonstrates the power of moving beyond cultural politics to a deeperclass critique of contemporary life. Making a persuasive case for class as the material logic of culture, the book is written in a double register of short critiques of life practices from food and education to race, stem-cell research, and abortion as well as sustained critiques of such theoretical discourses as ideology, consumption, globalization, and 9/11. Surpassing the orthodoxies of cultural studies, "Class in Culture" makes surprising connections among seemingly unrelated cultural events and practices and offers a groundbreaking and complex understanding of the contemporary world.
