"From Class Struggle to the Politics of Pleasure" arises from
reading and teaching Gramscian work in cultural studies, education,
media studies, leisure and politics over the last twenty years. It
argues that Gramscian work is undoubtedly powerful and persuasive.
Indeed by the 1990s one can almost say that it has become the
governing orthodoxy. Harris reads the work critically and in
detail, tracing arguments across time and across different
specialisms, assessing them, and trying to examine how they deal
with critics and with challenging topics. He maintains that
cultural studies contains many absences, silences and closures, and
that it deploys a number of narrative techniques to remain
credible.
Wide-ranging and critical, "From Class Struggle to the Politics of
Pleasure" is an ideal critical assessment of one of the most
fashionable and powerful intellectual traditions in contemporary
social science. This book will help students to critically read
Gramscian work and decide where its strengths and weaknesses lie
for themselves, making them less dependent on the Gramscians' own
accounts and agendas.
