Historical Materialism Book Series Historical Materialism Book Series BOOK SERIES Historical Materialism Book Series Editorial Board: Sébastien Budgen, Paris, David Broder, Rome, Steve Edwards, London, Juan Grigera, London, Marcel van der Linden, Amsterdam, Peter Thomas, London Editorial co-ordinator: Danny Hayward For more information please visit brill.com/hm ISSN 1570-1522 The HM book series Since HM published its first volume in 2002, the series has established itself as the most significant English- language publishing venture of the Marxist left. Amongst the first hundred volumes are classic works by José Aricó, Pierre Broué, Paul Levi, Evgenii Preobrazhensky and Lise Vogel. Alongside them are important collections of historical documents, edited collections, and influential monographs from literally dozens of contemporary Marxist thinkers. The series encompasses works of revolutionary history, economic theory, political analysis, examinations of prominent figures in the Marxist tradition, philosophical works on time, Hegel, Spinoza, Gramsci and Althusser; studies of Marx’s method; outstanding historical work on modes of production and new writing on art. The HM series spans the range of approaches that have made up the complex history of critical Marxist politics and theory, from Second-International thinkers to Bolshevism through to contemporary work in every significant field of contemporary Marxist research. The series rejects narrow and sectarian traditions, engaging critical Marxism in its rich diversity and promoting fresh approaches. HM is particularly proud of our translation programme, which is making available to English readers the best Marxist work from around the world. This much-needed project is reinvigorating intellectual debate on the left. We have issued books originally published in eleven different countries, with more to come in the near future. HM books have been supported by many official grant bodies and universities, and on three occasions HM books have won the Isaac and Tamara Deutscher Prize. The HM book series intends to continue to play a central role in shaping intellectual discussion on the Left and we welcome submissions from anyone working in the Marxist tradition.

    From: Handbook of Historical Sociology edited by Gerard Delanty and Engin Isin Sage: London, 2003 (Please cite from published version.) 7. Historical Materialist Sociology and Revolutions George C. Comninel One of the fundamental issues of historical sociology since its origins in historical social theory in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries has been that of a transition between medieval and modern forms of society. There have, indeed, been so many variations on this basic theme that it would scarcely be possible to enumerate them all. What all have in common is the delineation of two contrasting historical social epochs, comprising specific sets of social characteristics as distinctive forms of society, accompanied by some conception of systematic social change from one to the other. The older form of society may not be conceived specifically in relation to the European middle ages, but such a fundamental transition is in every case identified as culminating in, coinciding with, or occurring in the course of a European modern period that opened roughly five hundred years ago. The social forms involved in this transition have been variously described in terms of such as oppositions as ‘traditional’ and ‘modern’, Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft, ‘feudal’ and ‘capitalist’, ‘agrarian’ and ‘commercial’, ‘simple’ and ‘complex’, and ‘aristocratic’ and ‘bourgeois’. The historical process of change itself has been identified with increased rationalization, desacralization, urbanization, and/or commercialization; development of the division of labour; the rise of a bourgeois class; the growth of capitalism; or some broad amalgam of these and related processes conceived simply as ‘modernization’. This transition has most typically been understood as part of a larger historical process of ‘progress’, a protean concept that has underpinned much social thought during the modern era [Comninel, 1987: 61-74; Wood, 1995: 6-8; Meek, 1976; Butterfield, 1931].

  • Telling the Truth About Class
    TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT CLASS G. M. TAMÁS ne of the central questions of social theory has been the relationship Obetween class and knowledge, and this has also been a crucial question in the history of socialism. Differences between people – acting and knowing subjects – may influence our view of the chances of valid cognition. If there are irreconcilable discrepancies between people’s positions, going perhaps as far as incommensurability, then unified and rational knowledge resulting from a reasoned dialogue among persons is patently impossible. The Humean notion of ‘passions’, the Nietzschean notions of ‘resentment’ and ‘genealogy’, allude to the possible influence of such an incommensurability upon our ability to discover truth. Class may be regarded as a problem either in epistemology or in the philosophy of history, but I think that this separation is unwarranted, since if we separate epistemology and the philosophy of history (which is parallel to other such separations characteristic of bourgeois society itself) we cannot possibly avoid the rigidly-posed conundrum known as relativism. In speak- ing about class (and truth, and class and truth) we are the heirs of two socialist intellectual traditions, profoundly at variance with one another, although often intertwined politically and emotionally. I hope to show that, up to a point, such fusion and confusion is inevitable. All versions of socialist endeavour can and should be classified into two principal kinds, one inaugurated by Rousseau, the other by Marx. The two have opposite visions of the social subject in need of liberation, and these visions have determined everything from rarefied epistemological posi- tions concerning language and consciousness to social and political attitudes concerning wealth, culture, equality, sexuality and much else.

  • Critical Theory, Historical Materialism, and the Ostensible End of Marxism: the Poverty of Theory Revisited
    Critical Theory, Historical Materialism, and the Ostensible End of Marxism: The Poverty of Theory Revisited BRYAN D. PALMER Summary: This essay notes the extent to which poststructuralism/postmodernism have generally espoused hostility to historical materialism, surveys some representative examples of historical writing that have gravitated toward the new critical theory in opposition to Marxism, and closes with a discussion of the ironic evolution of a poststructurally inclined, anti-Marxist historiography. Counter to the prevailing ideological consensus that Marxism has been brought to its interpretive knees by a series of analytic challenges and the political collapse of the world's ostensibly "socialist" states, this essay argues that historical materialism has lost neither its power to interpret the past nor its relevance to the contemporary intellectual terrain. It is now a decade-and-one-half since Edward Thompson penned The Poverty of Theory: or an Orrery of Errors, and ten times as many years have passed since the publication of Marx's The Poverty of Philosophy.1 Whatever one may think about the advances in knowledge associated with historical materialism and Marxism, particularly in terms of the practice of historical writing, there is no denying that this sesquicentennial has been a problematic period in the making of communist society; the last fifteen years, moreover, are associated with the bleak end of socialism and the passing of Marxism as an intellectual force. Indeed, it is a curious conjuncture of our times that the

The Significance and Shortcomings of Karl Marx Abstract In this essay I explain both why Karl Marx remains an important thinker and why he is in some respects inadequate. I focus on the central issue of 'materialism vs. idealism,' and briefly explore ways in which contemporary intellectuals still haven't assimilated the insights of historical materialism. In the last section of the paper I examine the greatest weakness of Marxism, its theory of proletarian revolution, and propose an alternative conceptualization that both updates the theory for the twenty-first century and is more faithful to historical materialism than Marx's own conception was.

  • Further Reading
    Further Reading A bibliography on the communist left in the Netherlands cannot be limited to the sources and studies existing either in the Dutch language or in the Netherlands. The merging of the kapd current, descended from the Spartakusbund – with the Gorter and Pannekoek current – gave birth to an international revolutionary current, from 1920 onwards. This current developed simultaneously in a number of countries: Bulgaria, Russia, Austria, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and Great Britain; then – during the 1930s – in France, Belgium, Denmark and in the United States. The Dutch communist left must be placed in this international context, which shows something of the state of the subject. The existence of archives and documents, dealing with German-Dutch left- communism, in almost ten languages, gave us an idea of the scope of the research-work. In this updated bibliography, we shall deliberately confine ourselves to a few coun- tries, more particularly the Netherlands and Germany.

    Yale University Department of Political Science Syllabus THE PHILOSOPHY, HISTORY, AND SOCIOLOGY OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS (Seminar) Nuno P. Monteiro Office: Rosenkranz 226, Tuesdays 2:00‐4:00 [email protected] Class: Rosenkranz 202, Tuesdays, 9:20‐11:10 Spring 2010 PLSC 193/671 COURSE OBJECTIVES This seminar explores the philosophical foundations of the study of international relations, as well as the history and sociology of the discipline. We’ll cover the historical development of IR as a professional discipline since the interwar period, going over the main foundational debates that organized the field, and addressing its sociological evolution. By the end of the course, students should have an understanding of the main meta‐theoretical issues in the discipline and thus be able to enlarge their toolkit to critically engage scholarship in IR, political science, and the social sciences more broadly. COURSE OUTLINE The course covers the historical evolution of IR as a professional discipline from the meta‐theoretical perspective. As the field evolves, we’ll look at the development of the philosophical foundations of IR scholarship, covering the main positions in it and addressing the main criticisms of each. Finally, we’ll study the sociology of IR, interrogating the ways in which scholarship is produced and the field is structured and disciplined. REQUIREMENTS, GRADING, AND DEADLINES Basic knowledge of IR theory is a plus. The course will consist in a series of seminar sessions with pre‐assigned readings. Students are expected to do all the readings prior to each session, as well as attend and participate in all sessions.

  • What Is to Be Done? Leninism, Anti-Leninist Marxism and the Question of Revolution Today
    Chapter 1 What is to be Done? Leninism, anti-Leninist Marxism and the Question of Revolution today Werner Bonefeld and Sergio Tischler I Of one thing we can be certain. The ideologies of the twentieth century will disappear completely. This has been a lousy century. It has been filled with dogmas, dogmas that one after another have cost us time, suffering, and much injustice (Garcia Marquez, 1990). Amid the resurgence of anti-capitalist movements across the globe, the centenary of Lenin’s What is to be Done? in 2002 has largely gone unnoticed. Leninism has fallen on hard times – and rightly so. It leaves a bitter taste of a revolution whose heroic struggle turned into a nightmare. The indifference to Leninism is understandable. What, however, is disturbing is the contemporary disinterest in the revolutionary project. What does anti-capitalism in its contemporary form of anti- globalization mean if it is not a practical critique of capitalism and what does it wish to achieve if its anti-capitalism fails to espouse the revolutionary project of human emancipation? Anti-capitalist indifference to revolution is a contradiction in terms. Rather then freeing the theory and practice of revolution from Leninism, its conception of revolutionary organization in the form of the party, and its idea of the state whose power is to be seized, as an instrument of revolution, remain uncontested. Revolution seems to mean Leninism, now appearing in moderated form as Trotskyism. Orthodox Marxism invests great energy in its attempt to incorporate the 2 What is to be Done? class struggle into preconceived conceptions of organization, seeking to render them manageable under the direction of the party.

  • Towards a Unified Theory Analysing Workplace Ideologies: Marxism And
    Marxism and Racial Oppression: Towards a Unified Theory Charles Post (City University of New York) Half a century ago, the revival of the womens movementsecond wave feminismforced the revolutionary left and Marxist theory to revisit the Womens Question. As historical materialists in the 1960s and 1970s grappled with the relationship between capitalism, class and gender, two fundamental positions emerged. The dominant response was dual systems theory. Beginning with the historically correct observation that male domination predates the emergence of the capitalist mode of production, these theorists argued that contemporary gender oppression could only be comprehended as the result of the interaction of two separate systemsa patriarchal system of gender domination and the capitalist mode of production. The alternative approach emerged from the debates on domestic labor and the predominantly privatized character of the social reproduction of labor-power under capitalism. In 1979, Lise Vogel synthesized an alternative unitary approach that rooted gender oppression in the tensions between the increasingly socialized character of (most) commodity production and the essentially privatized character of the social reproduction of labor-power. Today, dual-systems theory has morphed into intersectionality where distinct systems of class, gender, sexuality and race interact to shape oppression, exploitation and identity. This paper attempts to begin the construction of an outline of a unified theory of race and capitalism. The paper begins by critically examining two Marxian approaches. On one side are those like Ellen Meiksins Wood who argued that capitalism is essentially color-blind and can reproduce itself without racial or gender oppression. On the other are those like David Roediger and Elizabeth Esch who argue that only an intersectional analysis can allow historical materialists to grasp the relationship of capitalism and racial oppression.
