简介： 吳叡人，楊照，張鐵志　專文推薦1. 兩個世紀前，馬克思深刻批判了資本主義；上一個世紀，馬克思主義與全世界的思潮和資本體制衝撞出激烈火花；這個世紀，當人們以為可以忘了馬克思主義時，卻同時目睹資本主義大崩壞；因為對馬克思主義的強烈誤解，使人們不想也不敢碰觸馬克思主義，但是歷史的腳步似乎已經開始證明，馬克思也許終究是對的。馬克思主義早已過時；它理論良善但實行不善；馬克思本人就是個決定論者，只把人類當成歷史的工具，而剝奪人們的自由與獨立性；……。這些是事實，還是對社會主義的偏見與誤解？英國當代重要思想家伊格頓提醒：馬克思理論固然不是完美的，但批評它的論點有著更多的缺陷！說馬克思主義過時，就像在說救火已經過時，因為縱火犯更狡猾了。說社會主義是饑荒、壓迫的元凶，別忘了資本主義也是奴役、屠殺、剝削後的成果。馬克思誠然非決定論者，他並沒有說社會主義何年何月何日會主導全世界；他不是個盯著水晶球看的靈媒，他只是位詆毀社會不公不義的預言家。這是本具爭論性與爭議性的著作，伊格頓舉出十項最常拿來反對馬克思主義的觀點，然後一一駁斥，擊破它們看似無堅不摧的立論。他以過人的機智幽默，與文學家的妙喻用筆，針砭世人如何扭曲馬克思的思想，如何將社會主義汙名化，同時，從抽絲剝繭的論述中，帶領讀者看見社會主義真正的理想與目標。資本主義醜態畢露的當下，正是馬克思主義何以是最好的明證。

简介：The idea of the nation is globally in crisis, but multiculturalism has often seemed to name a specifically national debate. Multicultural Stateschallenges the national focus of these debates by investigating theories, policies and practices of cultural pluralism across eight countries with historical links in British colonialism: the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, South Africa, Ireland and Britain. This important book combines discussions of the principles of multiculturalism with studies of specific local histories and political conflicts. The contributors discuss: * communalism and colonialism in India * Irish sectarianism and postmodern identity politics * ethnic nationalism in post-apartheid South Africa * British multiculturalism as part of the heritage industry * feminism and Australian republicanism. Contributors: Ien Ang, David Attwell, Homi K. Bhabha, Gargi Bhattacharyya, Abena P. A. Busia, Dipesh Chakrabarty, Terry Eagleton, John Frow, Henry A. Giroux, Ihab Hassan, Smaro Kamboureli, Maria Koundoura, Beryl Langer, Anne Maxwell, Meaghan Morris, Susan Mathieson and Jon Stratton

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 "Fredric Jameson is America's leading Marxist critic. A prodigiously energetic thinker whose writings sweep majestically from Sophocles to science fiction."-Terry Eagleton "Probably the most important cultural critic writing in English today...It can be truly said that nothing cultural is alien to him."-Colin MacCabe "Fredric Jameson preserved and extended the legacy of Marxism for a generation of intellectuals."-Benjamin Kunkel, London Review of Books In this major new study, philosopher and cultural theorist Fredric Jameson offers an innovative reading of a book that forms part of the bedrock of modern Western thought Hegers Phenomenology of Spirit. Whereas other writers have interpreted the Phenomenology as a rigidly dosed system, Jameson discovers it to be a more fluid, open-ended work. Hegel's mind is revealed to be a less systematic mechanism than normally thought, one whose ideas never solidify into pure abstractions. The conclusion of the Phenomenology, on the aftermath of the French Revolution, is examined as a provisional stalemate between the political and the social霉a situation from which Jameson draws important lessons for our own age.   Publisher Summary 2 Jameson (comparative literature, Duke U.), who is esteemed for his works of literary theory, offers a critical analysis of the influential work by Hegel. Situating Hegel's essay against the background of Kant, Jameson keeps a tight focus on the concept of Geist, or Spirit, so central to the essay, relating Hegel's use of the term to his development of the concept of history. The richness of Jameson's analysis is spellbinding, leading readers through a close reading of Hegel's essay to demonstrate Hegel's thoughts on language and culture, and the implications from his writing on the French Revolution to fascism, imperialism, and ultimately, globalization. Quotations are presented at length, in English followed by the original German.

简介：In recent years the left has transformed traditional approaches to literature and culture. Critical movements such as Cultural Materialism and New Historicism have succeeded to the point where they now constitute the new academic order. Scott Wilson explains and demonstrates the power of these modes of critical enquiry and explores their limitations. His book provides a forceful critical engagement with major figures in the field - Francis Barker, Catherine Belsey, Jonathan Dollimore, Terry Eagleton, Jonathan Goldberg, Stephen Greenblatt, Alan Sinfield. He also shows how cultural materialism is applied in practice

简介：    Who is more important: the reader, or the writer? Originally published in French in 1966, Pierre Macherey's first and most famous work, A Theory of Literary Production dared to challenge perceived wisdom, and quickly established him as a pivotal figure in literary theory.     In this provocative work, Macherey puts the focus as much on the reader as the writer, stating that the very act of reading is a form of production in its own right, generating interpretation and meanings which are beyond the control of the author.     Part of the birth of a whole new branch of post-structuralist theory, Macherey's work also influenced a new generation of critics among them Jacques Derrida, his contemporary, and Terry Eagleton. His ideas have also led some observers to claim that heannounced the death of the author fully two years before Roland Barthes' famous essay.     The reissue of this work as a Routledge Classic brings some radical ideas to a new audience, and argues persuasively for a totally new way of reading. As such, it is an essential work for anyone interested in the development of literary theory.

简介：In this witty, accessible book, Terry Eagleton argues that the art of reading poetry is as much in danger of becoming extinct as thatching or clog dancing. On the whole, students today are not taught how to be sensitive to language - how to read a poem with due attention to its tone, mood, pitch, pace, rhythm and texture, rather than just to 'what it says'. To demonstrate how this works in practice, the author takes a wide range of poems from the Renaissance to the present day and submits them to brilliantly illuminating close analysis. As one of the world's leading literary theorists, Eagleton also summons the aid of such pioneering critics as the Russian Formalists to raise some provocative general questions: What is poetry, and how does it differ from prose?; Is there a language peculiar to poetry?; and What exactly do we mean by imagery? Lucid, entertaining and full of insight, "How To Read A Poem" is designed to banish the intimidation that too often attends the subject of poetry, and in doing so to bring it into the personal possession of the students and the general reader. - Back cover.

简介：In this characteristically concise, witty, and lucid book, Terry Eagleton turns his attention to the questions we should ask about literature, but rarely do. What is literature? Can we even speak of "literature" at all? What do different literary theories tell us about what texts mean and do? In throwing new light on these and other questions he has raised in previous best-sellers, Eagleton offers a new theory of what we mean by literature. He also shows what it is that a great many different literary theories have in common. In a highly unusual combination of critical theory and analytic philosophy, the author sees all literary work, from novels to poems, as a strategy to contain a reality that seeks to thwart that containment, and in doing so throws up new problems that the work tries to resolve. The "event" of literature, Eagleton argues, consists in this continual transformative encounter, unique and endlessly repeatable. Freewheeling through centuries of critical ideas, he sheds light on the place of literature in our culture, and in doing so reaffirms the value and validity of literary thought today.

简介：The present collection of essays is the outcome of the Oscar Wilde conference held at the Technical University of Dresden, 31 August - 3 September 2000. The papers cover a wide range of historical and comparative aspects: they look into the status of Wilde as poet, dramatist, essayist and intellectual during his own times as well as investigate the meaning of his work for subsequent writers and critics, thus, giving an outline of the Wildean history of literary reception, intellectual discourse and media transformation. Intellectually brilliant and challenging, Oscar Wilde had been a favourite of the late Victorians, performing the roles of the dandy and the poet of art for art's sake. However, due to his questioning of prevalent moral double standards and his insistence on the autonomy of art, he was indicted for gross indecencies, convicted, and sent to prison. Instead of being ostracised, he became a source of inspiration for writers and artists on the British isles as well as on the European continent. The papers in this volume explore such topics as Wilde's concepts of socialism and aestheticism, his fashioning of the femme fatale and of the dandy, his use of fashion and of simulation, his impact on modernism and postmodernism as well as on genres such as crime writing and fictional biography, and the influence of Wilde on writers such as James Joyce, W.B. Yeats, Joe Orton, Peter Ackroyd, Tom Stoppard, David Hare and Mark Ravenhill. Other papers focus on the reception of Wilde in Russia, former Yugoslavia, Hungary and Germany as well as on cinematic and Internet representations of Wilde. Critical and creative responses vary from the general to the specific – from traditional assessments to analyses of the arts of camp, parody, and pastiche; thus, indicative of the (sub)cultural appropriation of 'Saint Oscar' (Terry Eagleton).

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 A study that must be read by all scholars and students of Joyce.   Publisher Summary 2 Since its appearance in 1922, James Joyce's novel Ulysses has remained extremely popular, never having gone out of print. Since the expiration of its copyright in the early 1990s, almost every major press in the US and England has produced an edition of the novel. This widespread public interest, in turn, has led well-known literary critics--from T. S. Eliot and Ezra Pound to Terry Eagleton and Homi Bhabha--to attempt to explain the intricacies of the great novel. Debate continues over even the most fundamental aspects of its plot, characterization, and themes. Every year, more and more scholars offer insights into the structure and style of Joyce's writing, the significance of his imagery, the consequences of his ideological dispositions, the association between his fictional representations and a myriad of cultural, social, and communal institutions and beliefs. Merely remaining cognizant of the range of views of Ulysses now offered has become a daunting task for any student of Joyce, especially in view of the explosion of critical viewpoints available to today's critics. While no single work could fully synthesize all that has been written on Ulysses, this book distinguishes the features of major methodological trends and important critical studies that have shaped our sense of Joyce's novel in recent years.   Publisher Summary 3 Since its appearance in 1922, James Joyce's novel Ulysses has remained extremely popular, never having gone out of print.

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 An eminent scholar of modern culture argues that the Enlightenment—the importance of which has been vigorously debated in recent years—was a more complex phenomenon than either its detractors or advocates assume. “Ranging as it does over art, morality, religion, science, philosophy, social theory, and a good deal besides, [Dupré’s book] is a marvel of scholarly erudition. . . . Formidably well-researched, . . . [this] would make an excellent introduction to Enlightenment ideas for the general reader.”—Terry Eagleton, Harper’s Magazine “This immensely readable book will cause readers to rethink the Enlightenment and to see its positive aspects. It will also add crucial historical perspective to current discussions of modernity.”—Donald Verene, Emory University
