Product Description:
This remarkable book develops a wide-ranging analysis of key issues and debates in contemporary social theory. Drawing social theory, cultural studies, and psychoanalysis together in a bold configuration, Elliott challenges the widespread view that social theory seems to have lost its way as a result of the diversification of conceptual approaches. In outlining an approach that places imagination and creativity at the center of social theory, Elliott argues that theoretical pluralism--from post-structuralism to postmodernism, from psychoanalysis to deconstruction--represents not the demise, but the renewal of critical social theory.
Summary: Vsions for the Future
Rating: 5
Brilliant! I've read Elliott previously, and this book is perhaps his best. Clear, focused and analytically distinct. I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in theory.
