Dialectics and Contemporary Politics recasts dialectical thought
for a post-Marxist age in which labour movement politics is just
one political option among many. The book is organized thematically
around concepts such as immanent critique, ideology, experience,
and resistance, and according to figures who are vital to the
present trajectory of dialectics, including Hegel, Adorno,
Foucault, Jameson and Zizek. New analysis of these concepts and
theorists is used to show how they transform our understanding of
social life as well as offer a way of understanding social
transformation. Interspersed throughout this theoretical work are
dialectical examinations of political phenomena from tolerance,
democracy, and the rise of Barack Obama, to state-economy relations
as well as those of power and resistance. A radical and often
revolutionary theory of society is pursued that is no longer
confined to the terms of Marxism or any other school of thought. In
this regard a novel advance is made by presenting the history of
dialectical criticism as an anti-tradition, ' which is defined as a
practice that is characterized by a history of discontinuity,
discord, and incompatible applications. A theory of dialectics
emerges that is flexible, coherent, and which can account for much
more than capitalism and class politics. This work will be of great
interest to all scholars of Marxism, critical theory, social and
political theory and political philosophy.
