Riassunto

In The Politics of Identity, Stanley Aronowitz offers provocative analysis of the complex interactions of class, politics, and culture. Beginning with the premise that culture is constitutive of class identities, he demonstrates that while feminist analyses of both racial and gay movements have discussed these components of culture, class contributions to cultural identity have yet to be fully examined. In these essays, he uses class as a category for cultural analysis, ranging over issues of ethnicity, race and gender, portrayals of class and culture in the media, as well as a range of other issues related to postmodernism.

Product Description:

Social scientists have debated the dimensions of class. Humanists have elaborated culture and its political implications. But Stanley Aronowitz persuasively argues, the ways in which class, politics and culture are intertwined have rarely been examined. In The Politics of Identity , Stanley Aronowitz begins from the premise that culture is constitutive of class identities. In these essays, some new asnd some widely cited, he demonstrates that economic identities are partially responsible for how, when and where classes act in the social realm. While feminist perspectives of both race and gay and lesbian movements have drawn out the racial and gender components of cultural elements, Aronowitz argues, class mediations to cultural identity have not been fully explored.
