Again, Dangerous Visions: Essays in Cultural Materialism: Historical Materialism Book Series, cartea 167

Autor Andrew Milner Editat de J.R. Burgmann
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 aug 2018
Again, Dangerous Visions: Essays in Cultural Materialism brings together twenty-six essays charting the development of Andrew Milner’s distinctively Orwellian version of cultural materialism between 1981 and 2015. The essays address three substantive areas: the sociology of literature, cultural materialism and the cultural politics of the New Left, and utopian and science fiction studies. They are bookended by two conversations between Milner and his editor J.R. Burgmann, the first looking back retrospectively on the development of Milner’s thought, the second looking forward prospectively towards the future of academia, the political left and science fiction.
