  1. Can the subaltern smile? Oedipus without Oedipus.Andrés Fabián Henao Castro - 2015 - Contemporary Political Theory 14 (4):315-334.
    This article explores the relationship between theory and praxis by contrasting three different models of intellectual endeavor: totalizing, particular and decolonial. Attending to the critique that Gayatri Spivak raised against Michel Foucault and Gilles Deleuze in Can the Subaltern Speak?, this article advocates a dramaturgical reading of texts as a model for political theory to address subaltern agency. It reads such agency in the smile that Pier Paolo Pasolini registers in his 1967 film version of Sophocles’ play, Oedipus Tyrannos. Dramaturgically (...)

  • Sociology as Reflexive Science.Derek Robbins - 2007 - Theory, Culture and Society 24 (5):77-98.
    The article focuses on the fact that the consequence of Bourdieu’s death is that we now have to respond specifically to the texts that he produced between 1958 and 2002, rather than to the impact of writing and political action in combination, which was his goal during his life. The article raises general questions about the status of social texts in relation to the practices of philosophy and social scientific enquiry to which Bourdieu must have returned in preparing his final (...)

  • African Realism: The Reception and Transculturation of Western Literary Realism in Africa.Gerald Gaylard - 2010 - Journal of Critical Realism 9 (3):276-298.
    A study of the reception and utilization of realism in literature outside of Europe during and after the nineteenth century, the area and period of its prominence, grants us some insight into how theories, practices and cultures travel and change in the process. In particular, it allows us to see how realism has been relativized in such a way as to open up the possibilities of redefinition of the notion and practice and moving beyond them. For these reasons I am (...)

  • Louis Althusser Louis Althusser and the Traditions of French Marxism Althusser: The Detour of Theory.Panagiotis Sotiris - 2009 - Historical Materialism 17 (4):121-142.
    In the past few years there has been a renewed interest in the work of Louis Althusser, although, in some cases, this interest has been one-sided, focusing mainly on his later writings on aleatory materialism. The three books reviewed in this article, however, offer balanced and insightful overviews of the totality of Althusser's work, placing it in the wider context of Marxist political and theoretical debates and stressing both its originality and strengths, but also its contradictions.
