PC Wars: Politics and Theory in the AcademyJeffrey Williams Routledge, 19 дек. 2013 г. - Всего страниц: 288 PC Wars: Politics and Theory in the Academy addresses the very issue of political correctness and the current skirmishes in the culture wars. It includes statements from many of our leading contemporary public intellectuals, including Joan Wallach Scott, Michael Bérubé, Bruce Robbins, Henry Giroux, and Gerald Graff. The collection marks a watershed in the debate about pc in that it presents serious considerations and analyses of the factors, causes, and consequences of the culture wars. Carefully examining the construction of pc, PC Wars analyses political correctness by focusing on the mass media, class politics, and the ideology of managerial democracy. It places the disputes around pc in the context of contemporary developments in critical and cultural theory and the current backlash against theory, manifested in the recent attacks on Marxism, feminism and deconstruction. The book also scrutinizes the undercurrents of anti-intellectualism and anti-professionalism which have tended to create a fertile ground for the pc hysteria. Offering much more than slogans and slinging arrows, PC Wars provides a spirited and critical look at the reaction, ideology, and political forces that have coalesced around the term.
