{"product_id":"society-theory-and-the-french-brian-singer-9780333394342","title":"Society, Theory and the French Revolution: Studies in the Revolutionary Imaginary","description":"This is a very different book about the French Revolution of 1789-94. The concern is less with a change in society than a change in the relation that a society establishes with itself. Here the focus is on society's presentation (and representation) considered not simply from the perspective of a few privileged intellectuals, but as a social and historical process inseparable from the institution of society's political dimension. Through a close reading of the revolutionary texts of the period, the author is able to trace behind the surface of events and conflict themes of a more abstract, fundamental character - themes relative to the 'discovery' of society, the construction of the nation-state, and what for the revolutionaries was the scandal of their separation. While retaining a fidelity to the eighteenth century, this book opens up new theoretical perspectives that illuminate the character of both a certain revolutionary heritage and a more general political modernity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brian Singer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0333394348\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780333394342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/08\/1986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.69d","brand":"Brian Singer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47421148627199,"sku":"9780333394342","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_94208e64-8200-4aec-8382-30c5bfa4a5ee.jpg?v=1761526630","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/society-theory-and-the-french-brian-singer-9780333394342","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
