Hegemony and Class Struggle: Trotsky, Gramsci and Marxism (Marx, Engels, and Marxisms)
by Juan Dal MasoLeon Trotsky and Antonio Gramsci are two of the most important Marxist thinkers of the 20th century. This book explores the similarities and the differences between their philosophical and political theories. The first and second chapters deal with a still under-investigated aspect of Trotsky’s thought, i.e. his reflections on the issue of hegemony. The third chapter focuses on Gramsci’s critique of Trotsky in his Prison Notebooks, analysing Gramsci’s knowledge of Trotsky’s positions as well as the scope and limits of Gramsci’s critique. The fourth chapter consists of a critical rereading of Perry Anderson's essay Antinomies of Antonio Gramsci, originally published in 1976 and republished in 2017 and an analysis of the book Gramsci and Trotsky in the Shadow of Stalinism by Emanuele Saccarelli. The result is an investigation that offers new insight into both Trotsky’s and Gramsci’s thought, while proposing a new point of view from which to interpret revolutionary theory and strategy in the contemporary scenario. One of the main topics addressed throughout the three essays is the specific position of the problem of hegemony in a theory of permanent revolution, demonstrating that Trotsky had a particular understanding of the question of hegemony and that Gramsci, in turn, introduced a concept of hegemony that is closely associated with an idea of permanent revolution, such that the dynamics of the relationship between democratic struggles and socialist struggles presented in both theories are very similar.
Hegemony and Education Under Neoliberalism: Insights from Gramsci (Routledge Studies in Education, Neoliberalism, and Marxism)
by Peter MayoBased in a holistic exposition and appraisal of Gramsci’s writings that are of relevance to education in neoliberal times, this book--rather than simply applying Gramsci's theories to issues in education--argues that education constitutes the leitmotif of his entire oeuvre and lies at the heart of his conceptualization of the ancient Greek term hegemony that was used by other political theorists before him. Starting from this understanding, the book goes on to compare Gramsci's theories with those of later thinkers in the development of a critical pedagogy that can confront neoliberalism in all its forms.

Heidegger and Development in the Global South (Contributions to Phenomenology #82)
by Siby K. GeorgeTaking the Heideggerian critical ontology of technology as its base, this volume looks at postcolonial modernization and development in the global south as the worldwide expansion of the western metaphysical understanding of reality. We live today in an increasingly globalizing technological society that Martin Heidegger described in the middle of the last century as ‘the planetary imperialism of technologically organized man.’ Consequent upon this cultural-intellectual globalization, the ahistorical, violent, individualistic, calculative and capitalistic logic of the metaphysics of technology is permeating the life-world, even of the world’s poorest peoples, in ways they could neither choose nor control. This volume questions the political ethics and justice of post-war development discourse in the light of the egalitarian aims of modern societies, cultural freedom of communities and nations and the ecological limits of the planet. The final chapters discuss the alternative proposal of development as various conceptions of good life and equitable human flourishing amidst equally flourishing non-human life and non-living beings. This unique volume is the first book-length treatment of the ontology of modernization and development in the global south from a Heideggerian stance.
Heidegger and Executive Education: The Management of Time (New Directions in the Philosophy of Education)
by Toby ThompsonGlobal corporations and the senior executives who oversee them have been subject to great criticism in recent times: not only do such corporations hold extreme concentrations of wealth, but they continue to sanction staggering pay inequalities between the haves and the have-nots. At the same time, university-based business schools are conducting programmes of executive education seemingly customised to sanction these same inequalities. Heidegger and Executive Education is a piece of critical philosophy that has been written from within the business school in order to examine how this sheltered process of educating in-role corporate executives operates. Thompson claims that executive education is based on a very simple premise: that an executive executes an order, and that executive education is an amelioration of that process. Thompson argues that the easiest way to conceive of executive education is to treat order and execution as cognates, as a single conceptual entity. Thus, he asks, if educating executives in line with the order-execution cognate involves swapping the boardroom for the classroom, and in keeping with the ‘critical’ tag, shouldn’t executive education be about questioning not only the execution, but also the dominant order? The author uses ‘time’ as the philosophical method by which one can undo the order-execution cognate, question the sanctity of the cognate and thereby halt the seemingly inexorable temporal sequence from order through to those orders becoming executed. This book uses Martin Heidegger’s exotic philosophy of time in order to mount a philosophical challenge to the temporal sequentiality of executive education. It will therefore be of great interest to academics, researchers and postgraduates who are interested in Heidegger, the philosophy of education and executive education. It should also be essential reading for those involved in training, developing, and educating corporate executives.

Heidegger and the Lived Experience of Being a University Educator
by Joshua SpierThis book explores the lived meanings of being a university educator from an existential perspective. The book enriches our understanding of educators' experiences in light of Martin Heidegger's early philosophy, and vice versa (opening our understanding of Heidegger's philosophy through educators' experiences). Also drawing on the philosophical insights of Hans-Georg Gadamer, the book situates the purposes and experiences of the ‘educator’ in historical and contemporary contexts. In doing so, the author reveals that being a university educator is essentially characterised by conversation and time. Inspired by the author’s own experiences of teaching community development and sociology within a youth-work specific bachelor degree, the book invites educators to apply existential philosophy as a tool to reflect upon their own experiences and to reconnect with the question of what it means to be an educator in their shared world of practice. This thoughtful volume is sure to resonate with the experiences of readers who educate within a university context.

Heidegger and the Politics of Disablement
by Thomas AbramsThis book presents the early existential phenomenology of Martin Heidegger as a way to reformulate academic disability studies and activist disability politics. It redresses the almost categorical neglect of human difference in the philosophy of Heidegger. It proceeds by applying a revised version of his phenomenology to social policy aimed to get disabled persons to work and to methods in rehabilitation science intended to be more ‘client friendly’. Phenomenological philosophy is extended to the topic of disability, while, at the same time, two key concerns facing disability studies are addressed: the roles of capitalism in disablement, and of medical practice in the lives of disabled persons. By reframing disability as a lived way of being in the world, rather than bodily malfunction, the book asks how we might rethink medicine and capitalism in democratic ways. It aims to transform Heidegger’s work in light of his troubling politics to produce a democratic social theory of human difference.
Heidegger in the Face of the Environmental Question: The Immanence of Life (Critiques and Alternatives to Capitalism)
by Enrique LeffThis volume engages with the work of Heidegger to argue that the modern environmental crisis is fundamentally a crisis of understanding Life, resulting from the symbolic codification of the world from the Logos of Greek philosophy to the rationality of the modern world and resulting in a metaphysics that privileges ontological thinking on the "question of being" over the environmental question and the concern for the conditions of life. Exploring the work of the three principal thinkers of the Lebensphilosophie— Bergson, Dilthey, and Husserl—it charts the itinerary of Heidegger’s work and exposes its conflicts with the work of Marx, Plessner, Haar, and Derrida. A critical argument against the colonization of the world by Eurocentric reason and for the deconstruction of Capital, Heidegger in the Face of the Environmental Question draws on Latin American environmental thought to re-think the conditions for life on Earth. It will therefore appeal to scholars of philosophy, political theory, and political sociology with interests in environmental philosophy, political ecology, and socioeconomic transformation.

Heidegger on Literature, Poetry, and Education after the “Turn”: At the Limits of Metaphysics (Routledge International Studies in the Philosophy of Education #45)
by James M. Magrini Elias SchwielerOffering new and original readings of literature, poetry, and education as interpreted through the conceptual lens of Heidegger’s later philosophy of the "Turn", this book helps readers understand Heidegger’s later thought and presents new takes on how to engage the themes that emerged from his later writing. Suggesting novel ways to consider Heidegger’s ideas on literature, poetry, and education, Magrini and Schwieler provide a deep understanding of the "Turn," a topic not often explored in contemporary Heideggerian scholarship. Their inter- and extra-disciplinary postmodern approaches offer a nuanced examination, taking into account Heidegger’s controversial place in history, and filling a gap in educational research.

Heimat: Ein vielfältiges Konstrukt (RaumFragen: Stadt – Region – Landschaft)
by Martina Hülz Olaf Kühne Florian WeberDie politischen und gesellschaftlichen Diskussionen um Heimat intensivieren sich. Im Kontext des Versuchs der Selbstvergewisserung im Zuge der Globalisierung, aber auch der Differenzierung und Fragmentierung der Gesellschaft, der Einwanderung sowie landschaftlichen Wandlungsprozessen nehmen die Kämpfe um Deutungshoheit um das Heimatliche und das Nicht-Heimatliche an Schärfe zu. Mit dem Band ‚Heimat. Ein vielfältiges Konstrukt‘ soll ein Beitrag eigens aus raum-, politik- und medienwissenschaftlichen sowie soziologischen Perspektiven zur Klärung und Einordnung unterschiedlicher Positionen im Kontext des ‚umkämpften Feldes Heimat‘ geleistet werden.

Heimatgedanken
by Frank Thomas Brinkmann Johanna HammannHeimatgedanken! Die theologischen und kulturwissenschaftlichen Beiträge dieses Bandes aus der Reihe pop.religion: lebensstil – kultur – theologie suchen auf den Sachverhalt zu reagieren, dass nicht nur ein flacher, bunter Heimatbegriff in der Regenbogenpresse und dem Vorabend-TV zweitklassiger Privatsender Konjunktur hat, sondern dass sich in zahleichen aktuellen Gesellschaftsdiskursen der gegenwärtigen Deutungskulturen starke Reflexe auf triviale Heimatbilder bemerkbar machen. Vor dem Konsenshorizont, dass man sich gegen romantisierte Übertreibungsszenarien, vorkritische Ideologien und populistische Agitationen zur Wehr setzen muss, ergreifen kompetente Menschen aus unterschiedlichen wissenschaftlichen Fachkulturen das Wort – und kommen wunderbar miteinander in ein zukunftsweisendes Gespräch.
Heinrich Heines „Romanzero“: Mythisches Denken und resignatives Geschichtsbild (Heine-Studien)
by Philipp RitzenDie Untersuchung des letzten großen Gedichtzyklus von Heinrich Heine, des „Romanzero“, legt mythische Denkstrukturen frei, die nach einschlägigen Mythostheorien (Blumenberg, Eliade) eine ordnende Funktion in einer dem Menschen als Chaos erscheinenden Welt erhalten. Zugleich ist mythisches Denken zyklisch. Heine gestaltet im „Romanzero“ historische Situationen aus allen Epochen und zeichnet drastisch die Perpetuierung von Herrschaft und Ungleichheit nach. Der Mythos vermag keine Hoffnung zu kreieren. Heine entwirft am Ende seines Lebens in seiner „Matratzengruft“ ein resignatives Bild von Menschheit und Geschichte.
Heirat in Japan: Romantische und solidarische Beziehungswelten im Wandel
by Nora KottmannVor dem Hintergrund des demografischen Wandels und der stark problematisierten Veränderungen des Heiratsverhaltens untersucht Nora Kottmann die Bedeutung der Heirat für junge Erwachsene und deren Lebensentwürfe in Japan. Mittels einer qualitativen Interviewstudie zeigt sie einerseits die anhaltende Bedeutung der Heirat auf, andererseits legt sie jedoch auch ‚neue‘ Lebensentwürfe – basierend auf unterschiedlichen romantischen und solidarischen Beziehungsformen – offen. Erstmals beleuchtet die Autorin hierbei die von der bisherigen Forschung vernachlässigten Themenbereiche „Liebe“, „Partnerschaft“ und „Freundschaft“. Damit bietet sie einen umfassenden Einblick in die sich wandelnde Institution der Heirat und das dieser zugrunde liegende, in Veränderung begriffene Familien- und Gesellschaftssystem im Japan der Gegenwart.
Heldenbilder im Fernsehen: Eine Untersuchung zur Symbolik von Serienfavoriten in Kindergarten, Peer-Group und Kinderfreundschaften
by Ingrid Paus-HasebrinkFernsehhelden stehen im Mittelpunkt des Kinderinteresses. Kinder nutzen (mediale) Geschichten und Figuren, vor allem aus dem Seriengenre, sowohl in der Auseinandersetzung mit ihrem Selbstbild als auch in den Herausforderungen ihrer sozialen Umgebung, ob in Familie, Kindergarten, Peer-Groups oder Kinderfreundschaften. Im deutschsprachigen Raum liegen in bezug auf jüngere Kinder keine Studien zur Bedeutung von Fernsehfavoriten für Peer-Group-Beziehungen vor. Diese Lücke schließen zu helfen, ist Anliegen der Untersuchung.
Helicopter Parenting and Boomerang Children: How Parents Support and Relate to Their Student and Co-Resident Graduate Children (Routledge Advances in Sociology)
by Anne West Jane LewisDrawing an unfavourable contrast between the position of students and graduates with that of their baby boomer parents has become a staple for media comment. Indeed, student indebtedness and difficulties in finding graduate jobs and housing typically contrasts markedly with their parents’ experiences. Broadening the investigation, ‘Helicopter Parenting’ and ‘Boomerang Children’ depicts how students and graduates are now likely to be close to their parents, receive considerable financial and emotional support from them and, upon graduation, return home. Using qualitative data from two interview studies of middle-class families, this title explores the impact of these changes on young people’s transition to independence and adulthood and on intergenerational and intragenerational equality. This enlightening monograph will appeal to undergraduate and postgraduate students interested in fields such as Social Policy, Family Sociology and Education.

The Help-Yourself City: Legitimacy and Inequality in DIY Urbanism
by Gordon C.C. DouglasWhen local governments neglect public services or community priorities, how do concerned citizens respond? In The Help-Yourself City, Gordon Douglas looks closely at people who take urban planning into their own hands with homemade signs and benches, guerrilla bike lanes and more. Douglas explores the frustration, creativity, and technical expertise behind these interventions, but also the position of privilege from which they often come. Presenting a needed analysis of this growing trend from vacant lots to city planning offices, The Help-Yourself City tells a street-level story of people's relationships to their urban surroundings and the individualization of democratic responsibility.
