One of the strengths of the book is that it avoids the dull simplicity of the rescue of Marxist Truth from the errors of postmodernity or, by contrast, the tendency to throw Marxism into the dustbin in a moment of postmodern exuberance. The book offers a sophisticated and knowledgeable debate between Marxism and postmodernism and, thus, seeks to move the argument onto a new ground that emphasises questions of ethical responsibility.' - Keith Tester, Professor of Cultural Sociology, University of Portsmouth, UK\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction PART 1: IDEOLOGY, AESTHETICS AND MASS CULTURE Materialism and Ideology The Reification of Culture The Rise of Ludic Aestheticism Capitalism and the Hyperreal Ideology and Difference PART 2: CAPITALISM AND TECHNOLOGY Technology and Socialized Production The Origins of Technocracy: Heidegger and Marcuse Civilized Capitalist Machines: Deleuze and Negri The Ethics of Technological Effects: Derrida and Stiegler PART 3: GLOBALIZATION AND THE NEW INTERNATIONAL Colonialism and Imperialism World Markets and Global Transformations Biopolitical Production and the 'New Science of Democracy' Transeconomic Capitalism The Politics of Hospitality PART 4: MARXISM, POSTMODERNISM AND THE POLITICAL Marx and the Powers of Capital A Post-Ontological Marxism?
