What does 'anticapitalism' really mean for the politics and
culture of the twenty-first century?
Anticapitalism is an idea which, despite going global, remains
rooted in the local, persisting as a loose collection of grassroots
movements and actions. Anti-capitalism needs to develop a coherent
and cohering philosophy, something which cultural theory and the
intellectual legacy of the New Left can help to provide, notably
through the work of key radical thinkers, such as Ernesto Laclau,
Stuart Hall, Antonio Negri, Gilles Deleuze and Judith Butler.
"Anticapitalism and Culture" argues that there is a strong
relationship between the radical tradition of cultural studies and
the new political movements which try to resist corporate
globalization. Indeed, the two need each other: whilst theory can
shape and direct the huge diversity of anticapitalist activism, the
energy and sheer political engagement of the anticapitalist
movement can breathe new life into cultural studies.
