Setting out to exemplify a new approach to social theory - one forged in the course of a critical dialogue between Postmodernism and Marxism, this book departs from classical Marxist thought. By directly engaging with issues in social and political theory, the book offers a way forward for a new and revitalised Marxist tradition. The book does not fit within any single disciplinary boundary, but challenges the limits imposed by conventional boundaries. The author breaks with the ususal Postmodernism versus Marxism syndrome, and defies that brand of Postmodernism that pronounces the death of social theory. Through a deconstructive rethinking of the central concepts of production, law and class, he attempts to demonstrate ways in which a transformed Marxism can take on board and benefit from Postmodernism and deconstruction without lapsing into post-Marxism.

Postmodernism is frequently described as dealing a death-blow to sociology. This book, however, argues that it is a mistake to conceive postmodernism in terms of a fatal attack upon what sociologists do. The contributors locate the identity of sociology after' postmodernism as a contested site which opens up the possibility of re-imagining the enterprise of sociology. They show how this re-imagination might be conducted and trace some of the key potential consequences.

This book is a commentary on ideas about contemporary education, how it is conducted and how it is administered. In a set of thematic essays the editors aim at clarifying the educational problems and paradoxes of postmodern educational conditions and theory. The major concerns of the book are the possibility of achieving substantive political objectives and of theorizing such possibilities. These concerns arise from a dissatisfaction with the organizational and political conditions of postmodern educational practice. The seeming inability of academics to intervene in the public sector, especially in matters of equality, provides a driving force for the book. For individuals who care about the future of education and its role in social reconstruction, the pessimistic nature of postmodern theories of society and education is an additional impetus for the book. All of the chapters exemplify the issues that confront lecturers in contemporary university teacher education contexts.

A new division has emerged in the social sciences between modernists and their post-modern critics. The former defend the project of a general theory with secure analytical foundations; the latter challenge the possibility and indeed the desirability of aspiring to create totalizing theories. Postmodernists contest the view of science as an autonomous sphere of knowledge and reflection. This volume brings together leading theorists in the social sciences and philosophy to debate the respective merits of modernism and postmodernism as paradigms of social inquiry. It examines the relation between science, critique and narrative, addressing questions about the moral and political meaning of science today.

Essay from the year 2008 in the subject Sociology - General and Theoretical Directions, grade: 2,0, Universität, course: Seminar, language: English, abstract: The term “postmodern” has become a popular label for something about the life and thought of recent decades in the most developed societies. It both refers to phenomena in the real world, and to an intellectual movement. Representatives of the postmodern movement not only express conflicting views, but are interested in barely overlapping subject matters such as art, history, economics, politics, methodology and literature. What the term “Postmodernism” actually means, has been the subject of a lengthy debate ever since its emergence. This essay deals with the social theory about seven pages.

This work sets out and exemplifies a new approach to social theory. While departing radically from classical Marxist thought, it directly engages with many of the most important issues in contemporary social and political theory, and offers a way forward for a new and revitalized Marxist tradition. Social Theory After Postmodernism returns to the same concern with law that marked the work of the classical sociological theorists, and which has been neglected since their passing. Through a deconstructive rethinking of the central concepts of production, law and class he demonstrates ways in which a transformed Marxism can take on board and benefit from postmodernism and deconstruction without lapsing into post-Marxism.

Marking the fiftieth anniversary of the Educational Philosophy and Theory journal, this book brings together the work of over 200 international scholars, who seek to address the question: ‘What happened to postmodernism in educational theory after its alleged demise?’. Declarations of the death knell of postmodernism are now quite commonplace. Scholars in various disciples have suggested that, if anything, postmodernism is at an end and has been dead and buried for some time. An age dominated by playfulness, hybridity, relativism and the fragmentary self has given way to something else—as yet undefined. The lifecycle of postmodernism started with Derrida’s 1966 seminal paper ‘Structure, Sign and Play in the Discourse of the Human Sciences’; its peak years were 1973–1989; followed by uncertainty and reorientation in the 1990s; and the aftermath and beyond (McHale, 2015). What happened after 2001? This collection provides responses by over 200 scholars to this question who also focus on what comes after postmodernism in educational theory. This book was originally published as a special issue of the journal Educational Philosophy and Theory.
