History Without A Subject - The Postmodern Condition (Paperback)

Professor of sociology at the University of Wyoming, David Ashley takes a critical and neo-Marxist approach toward the phenomenon of postmodernity. "Postmodern" culture is related to globalization, or capital's circuit. The unreflective enthusiasm for "postmodern" forms of expression shown by many academics is explained in terms of the social location and political interests of these "new intellectuals". Part of the New Perspectives in Sociology series.
