In Ideology and Inscription Tom Cohen questions the way history,
ideology and politics are invoked in contemporary cultural studies.
Enlisting the work of three seminal figures in literary theory -
Walter Benjamin, Paul de Man, and M. Bakhtin - Cohen argues for a
new politics of memory that moves beyond what he sees as our
current paralysing preoccupation with the present, and also for a
new approach to the reading and analysis of cultural texts that
breaks with the mimetic premises of traditional criticism. The book
challenges many of the prevailing methodologies and assumptions of
the contemporary critical scene and, through analyses of such
topics as the rhetoric of science, ecological criticism, and the
films of Hitchcock, demonstrates the subtlety and critical power of
a more genuinely 'materialist' approach to a wide range of cultural
texts.
