Summary

Class in Culture is a bold argument for moving beyond cultural politics to a class critique of the every day. At a time when class in either declared dead or turned into the pleasures of lifestyle and the contingencies of difference, Class in Culture makes a strong case for class as the material logic of culture. Through critical engagements with cultural theories and class critiques of a range of cultural situations, Class in Culture overturns the "cultural turn" and offers a groundbreaking materialist understanding of the contemporary. Its audacious, eye-opening interpretations of cultural texts make surprising connects among such seemingly unrelated issues as torture at Abu Ghraib, chick-lit, trauma, 9/11, sexuality, irony, globalization, and lifestyles
