"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 20 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 new 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" provides a critical assessment of one of the
most fashionable and powerful intellectual traditions in
contemporary social science. This book aims to help students to
read Gramscian work critically and decide where its strengths and
weaknesses lie for themselves, and make them less dependent on the
Gramscians' own accounts and agendas.
