This is the first anthology to thematize the dramatic upward and
downward shifts that have created the new social theory, and to
present this new and exciting body of work in a thoroughly
trans-disciplinary manner. In this revised second edition readers
are provided with a much greater range of thinkers and
perspectives, including new sections on such issues as imperialism,
power, civilization clash, health, and performance. The first
section sets out the main schools of contemporary thought, from
Habermas and Honneth on new critical theory, to Jameson and Hall on
cultural studies, and Foucault and Bourdieu on poststructuralism.
The sections that follow trace theory debates as they become more
issues-based and engaged. They are: the post-foundational debates
over morality, justice and epistemological truth the social meaning
of nationalism, multiculturalism, globalization identity debates
around gender, sexuality, race, the self, and post-coloniality.
This new edition provides more ample biographical and intellectual
introductions to each thinker, and substantial introductions to
each of the major sections. The editors introduce the volume with a
newly revised, interpretive overview of social theory today. The
New Social Theory Reader is an essential, reliable guide to current
theoretical debates.
