Raymond Williams Knihy

Antologie překladů věnovaná novému historismu, kulturnímu materialismu a kulturním studiím – tedy směrům humanitněvědného myšlení, v jejichž rámci se střetávají literární a kulturní teorie, text a jeho kontext, praktické a teoretické aspekty myšlení, konání a řeči nebo oblast umění a ne-umění – uvedené směry nemapuje v celé šíři, ale vybírá klíčové texty jejich protagonistů, a to v rámci hledisek z podtitulu antologie: cirkulace, reprezentace, ideologie. Obsahuje jak výrazně teoreticky zaměřené práce, tak studie věnované konkrétním historickým otázkám. Všechna témata doprovázejí osvětlující úvodní texty a celou knihu uvádí studie přibližující základní pojmy a jejich vývoj v kontextu domácí literárněteoretické tradice.

A comprehensive introduction to the work of one of the outstanding intellectuals of the twentieth century.Raymond Williams is a towering presence in cultural studies, most importantly as the founder of the apporach that has come to be known as “cultural materialism.” Yet Williams’s method was always open-ended and fluid, and this volume collects together his most significant work from over a twenty-year peiod in which he wrestled with the concepts of materialism and culture and their interrelationship. Aside from his more directly theoretical texts, however, case-studies of theatrical naturalism, the Bloomsbury group, advertising, science fiction, and the Welsh novel are also included as illustrations of the method at work. Finally, Williams’s identity as an active socialist, rather than simply an academic, is captured by two unambiguously political pieces on the past, present and future of Marxism.
