This book re-evaluates New Left and Marxist texts from the 1980s,
in order to explore problems facing the study of 'class' which have
emerged within Australian and international theories. The author
contrasts the popular ideas of Connell, Bourdieu and the 'Death of
Class' thesis, with those of lesser known texts, concluding that no
single definition can account for the various historical meanings
of class. Instead, loosely following Castoriadis, the concept of
class can best be understood as creatively imagined and
institutionalised. Paternoster proposes that class is best studied
through historical phenomenology, which can be used to link
political economy, cultural sociology and anthropological
ethnographies. This approach allows the contributions of Marxist
and New Left authors to be reintegrated with contemporary theories.
Doing so highlights the significance of labour populism, while
cautioning against the ahistorical applications of texts such as
Bourdieu's Distinction. Reimagining Class in Australia will be of
interest to students and scholars across a range of disciplines,
including sociology, history, political economy and anthropology.
