`The Sixties' Trope.Eleanor Townsley - 2001 - Theory, Culture and Society 18 (6):99-123.details Combining insights from narrative analysis in sociology and trope theory in anthropology, this article develops a theory of tropes that emphasizes their historical production and political effects. Tropes function politically to enable some narratives, identities and resolutions while foreclosing others. As a powerful tool for socio-historical analysis, a consideration of tropes is crucial for deconstructing the taken-for-granted predicates and the `dangerous' consequences of political narratives. To illustrate the argument, the trope of `the Sixties' is analyzed as a case study. Download Export citation Bookmark 2 citations
Intellectuals and cultural trauma.Ron Eyerman - 2011 - European Journal of Social Theory 14 (4):453-467.details As opposed to the intelligentsia, a historically specific group, and the professions, those who perform intellectual labor, the intellectual is here understood as the performance of a social role, one which involves the articulation of ideas communicated to a broad audience. This implies at least two distinct ways of speaking about and studying the intellectual. The first is to look at the way various social actors take on the task of articulating ideas in public discourses. The second is to study (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 4 citations
Becoming public characters, not public intellectuals: Notes towards an alternative conception of public intellectual life.Lambros Fatsis - 2018 - European Journal of Social Theory 21 (3):267-287.details Research into the sociology of intellectual life reveals numerous appeals to the public conscience of intellectuals. The way in which concepts such as ‘the public intellectual’ or ‘intellectual life’ are discussed, however, conceals a long history of biased thinking about thinking as an elite endeavour with prohibitive requirements for entry. This article argues that this tendency prioritizes the intellectual realm over the public sphere, and betrays any claims to public relevance unless a broader definition of what counts as intellectual life (...)

The origins of neoliberalism between Soviet socialism and Western capitalism: “A galaxy without borders”. [REVIEW]Johanna Bockman - 2007 - Theory and Society 36 (4):343-371.details Scholars have argued that transnational networks of right-wing economists and activists caused the worldwide embrace of neoliberalism. Using the case of an Italian think tank, CESES, associated with these networks, the author shows that the origins of neoliberalism were not in hegemony but in liminality. At CESES, the Italian and American right sought to convert Italians to free market values by showing them how Soviet socialism worked. However, CESES was created in liminal spaces that opened up within and between Soviet (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 2 citations
A Strange Mixture of Guevara and Togliatti.Daniel Gaido & Constanza Bosch Alessio - 2014 - Historical Materialism 22 (3-4):217-250.details This article analyses the intellectual and political trajectory of the Pasado y Presente group in Argentina, focusing on its main representative, José María Aricó (1931–91). Although usually described as ‘the Argentine Gramscians’, the ‘Gramscianism’ of the Pasado y Presente group was actually little more than a theoretical cover for its erratic political behaviour, which led them from Stalinism to Guevarism, from Guevarism to Maoism, from Maoism to Montoneros’s branch of Peronism, and from Peronism to Alfonsín’s Radicalism. Politically, their weakest point (...) Download Export citation Bookmark
