Culture and Domination

A compelling exploration of the nexus between cultural interpretation and social theory, John Brenkman's 'Culture and Domination' challenges traditional hermeneutics by arguing against the separation of culture from social relations of power. This forceful critical reassessment delves into hermeneutics, Marxism, and psychoanalysis, proposing an alternative interpretive framework that builds on these traditions while departing from some of their foundational premises. Brenkman's theory is richly illustrated through innovative readings of literary texts, notably William Blake's 'concrete utopia' and Goethe's 'aesthetics of male fantasy' in 'Sorrows of Young Werther'. This paperback edition is presented in Good condition, offering a significant academic contribution for scholars and students of cultural theory, philosophy, and literary studies.
