This ambitious collection of work at the intersection of cultural
studies and contemporary political theory brings together leading
thinkers from both traditions. Challenging the terms that have
shaped the last 20 years of culture wars, the essays in Cultural
Studies and Political Theory reject the accusations of the right
that everything is political and of the left that politics is
everything. They respond with an alternative, with an exploration
of processes of politicization and culturalization that asks, "what
does it mean for something to be political?"In affirming that there
are different answers to this question, the contributors to
Cultural Studies and Political Theory expand definitions of
politics in light of transformations in globally networked,
consumer-driven, mediated technoculture. Comprehending the
production of the political is crucial at a time when the political
and the cultural can no longer be decoupled and when we cannot know
in advance who "we" are. By gathering the work of theorists who are
redefining approaches to politics and culture, Jodi Dean
establishes a set of directives for theoretical work at a new
crossroads.
