"Marxist Shakespeares" uses the rich analytic resources of the
Marxist tradition to look at Shakespeare's plays afresh. The essays
collected here reveal the continuing power of Marxist thought to
address many issues including:
* the relationship of texts to social class
* the historical construction of the aesthetic
* the utopian dimensions of literary production.
This book offers new insights into the historical conditions
within which Shakespeare's representations of class and gender
emerged, and into Shakespeare's role in the global culture industry
stretching from Hollywood to the Globe Theatre.
"Marxist Shakespeares" will be a vital resource for students of
Shakespeare as it examines Marx's own readings of Shakespeare,
Derrida's engagement with Marx, and the importance of Bourdieu,
Bataille, Negri, and Alice Clark with a continuing tradition of
Marxist thought.
While Adolf Hitler was seizing power in Germany, Adrien Arcand was
laying the foundations in Quebec for his Parti national social
chretien. The Blue Shirts, as its members were called, wore a
military uniform and prominently displayed the swastika. Arcand saw
Jewish conspiracy wherever he turned and his views resonated with
his followers who, like him, sought a scapegoat for all the ills
eroding society. Even after his imprisonment during the Second
World War, the fanatical Adrien Arcand continued his correspondence
with those on the frontlines of anti-semitism. Until his death in
1967, he pursued his campaign of propaganda against communists and
Jews. Hugues Theoret describes a dark period in Quebec's
ideological history using an objective approach and careful,
rigorous research in this book, which won the 2015 Canada Prize
(Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences).
