Postmarxism is often depicted as a point of intersection for a set
of inter-disciplinary theories that are in themselves complex and
dense. Bringing the postmarxist theory of Ernesto Laclau into the
field of political sociology through a close reading and analysis
of postmarxism and its relationship to 'the social', A Sociology of
Postmarxism develops key postmarxist arguments in an engaging and
sociologically applicable way. Indeed, through a threefold method
of analysis, Howson first unpacks the relationship between 'the
social' and 'the political' by analysing key allied theories to
show where the points of connection occur. This is then followed by
an insightful analysis of the key features of postmarxist theory
such as antagonism and the inevitability of social dislocation, the
political importance of hegemony; and the empty signifier thesis
and equivalence to show how such theory can be applied at a
sociological level. Finally, through the use of sociological
categories such as masculinities, migration and social capital, the
foregoing theoretical analyses are synthesised to show the social
nature of postmarxism and particularly in the context of aspiration
and co-operation. This enlightening volume will appeal to
undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as postdoctoral
researchers who are interested in fields such as Political
Sociology, Post Marxist Political Theory and Social Theory.
