Description

"Philosophy in Cultural Theory offers a philosophical critique of cultural theory today. Peter Osborne makes critical interventions into the central philosophical debates motivating contemporary cultural analyses: interdisciplinarity and the status of pragmatism; the relationship between sign and image; the technological basis of cultural form; the theoretical importance of translation; the temporality and politics of modernism; the conceptuality of art; and the place of fantasy in human affairs. Drawing on the legacy of Walter Benjamin and the Communist Manifesto, he establishes a new transdisciplinary perspective on the experience of modernity as cultural-historical form." "Philosophy in Cultural Theory will appeal to all students of philosophy, cultural studies and art theory, and to readers interested in the shifting role of interdisciplinary studies."--Jacket.
