Embourgeoisment, immiseration, commodification- marxism revisited: a critique of education in capitalist systems/Nigel M. Greaves, Dave Hill and Alpesh Maisuria. 7. Immiseration capitalism, activism and education: resistance, revolt and revenge/Dave Hill. With the onset of Austerity Capitalism and Immiseration Capitalism, and with the increasing commodification, marketisation and privatisation of society and of education. Marxist Theory and Marxist Education Theory have taken on a new urgency. This is particularly so in the face of the 'class war from above', in which bankers and the capitalist class gets ever richer, while the living standards, public and formerly public institutions and the material conditions of life are diminished and degraded. In this collection of essays, written from a classic Marxist perspective, and fired with a codl anger and incisive analysis, Dave Hill lays bare how the capitalist class and their often unwitting helpers in the knowledge industry/academia, use ideological (and repressive) state apparatuses, such as education, to divide, disarm and demoralise critical, Marxist analysis and activism. In this powerful collection, Dave Hill, catalogues and castigates Capitalist/pro-capitalist depredation both within the academy, within classrooms and within society. But in this volume, there is more than critique - there is a call to action, a call for anger and analysis, a demand for theoretically informed practice in the different arenas of Resistance.

Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. Since emergence of the recent economic and financial crisis, the world over, explanatory power of social sciences and their methods of analysis are being questioned more vigourously. Even the validity of water tight compartmentalisation of social science into various disciplines is being questioned. Consensus appears to be emerging that political economy approach to teaching and research may be encouraged where in interaction of economic, political and social processes are not lost sight of while analysing various social issues. The task is challenging as traditional mode of analysis in various disciplines which assumes that the factors assigned to the domains of other disciplines remaining unchanged, how dominant factors which constitute a discipline will interact and to subject those outcomes to empirical verification. This mode of thinking and research need to be replaced by dialectical method whereby interaction of economic, political and social factors is taken into consideration in formulation of various research questions and attempting possible explanations. This volume seeks to encourage such an approach to social analysis. It examines various emerging issues in the society in the era of globalization. This volume has been arranged in four sections: State, Market, Industry and Globalization; Rural Society and Agrarian Change; Participatory Democracy and Governance; and Gender, Development and Disparities. It is expected that issues raised and approach to the analysis will benefit scholars to comprehend social reality with a new perspective and approach. It will help policy makers to look at more realistic conclusions for policy making. Seller Inventory # 119872
