In \u003cem\u003eMarxism and Deconstruction\u003c\/em\u003e, Michael Ryan examines that multifaceted relationship but not through a mere comparison of two distinct and inviolable entities. Instead, he looks at both with an eye to identifying their common elements and reweaving them into a new theory of political practice. To accomplish his task, Ryan undertakes a detailed comparison of deconstruction and Marxism, relating deconstruction to the dialectical tradition in philosophy and demonstrating how deconstruction can be used in the critique of ideology. He is a forceful critic of both the politics of deconstruction and the metaphysical aspect of Marxism (as seen from a deconstructionist perspective). Besides offering the first book-length study of Derrida in this context, Ryan makes the first methodic attempt by an American scholar to apply deconstruction to domains beyond literature. He proposes a deconstructive Marxism, one lacking the metaphysical underpinnings of conservative \"scientific\" Marxist theory and employing deconstructive analysis both for Marxist political criticism and to further current anti-metaphysical developments within Marxism. \u003cem\u003eMarxism and Deconstruction\u003c\/em\u003e is an innovative and controversial contribution to the fields of literary criticism, philosophy, and political science.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Ryan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1421432056\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781421432052\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Johns Hopkins University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.58d","brand":"Michael Ryan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44126166221055,"sku":"9781421432052","price":47.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f2abbd4f-b4e1-4848-87c7-455bb90d23d7.jpg?v=1687446639","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/marxism-and-deconstruction-michael-ryan-9781421432052","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
