Sociology of Postmarxism

Postmarxism's broad project since its beginning has been about rescuing Marxism from the global collapse of Marxist praxis by re-thinking the fundamentalism and determinism that marked classical Marxist theory but that no longer represents Western politico-social reality. The Sociology of Postmarxism is located within the broad corpus of work that has applied a sociological reading to theoretical and empirical categories. Its specific aim, within this literature, is to develop a 'reflexive sociology' that is informed by, and informs politics. The political theory of 'postmarxism' and 'social capital' theory will be crucial mediators in this development.Howson, Richard is the author of 'Sociology of Postmarxism', published 2012 under ISBN 9780415958004 and ISBN 0415958008.
