Bøger af Michele Barrett

Imagination in Theory focuses on Mich le Barrett's long-standing interest in cultural questions and shows how it informs her analysis of current developments in social and feminist theory. Taking culture, theory, and writing as its themes, the book "translates" across the barriers between the humanities and social sciences, raising a number of important-and controversial-issues.

In the past "women" have been radically undermined, and newer concerns with "difference", "identity", and "power" have emerged. This text explores these developments in a set of specially commissioned essays by feminist theorists.

A classic text in the debate about Marxism and feminism.

The concept of ideology - traditionally one of Marxism's most persuasive ideas - has recently been subjected to devastating criticism. Michele Barrett shows that Marx's own writings offer a confusing array of possible approaches to 'ideology', which the classical Marxist tradition consolidated as 'mystification that serves class interests'.
