While scholarly meaning-making has been addressed in specific academic areas, mostly linguistics and philosophy, it has never been addressed in a triangular relationship between the text (T1) and its instigator (S1), as well as its subsequent interpellator (S2). Furthermore, while addressed as a result of difference, it has never been addressed for today’s liberal theory, which includes liberal jurisprudence, through the mirror of Marxist difference.   Scholarship is the unique product of the instigator’s private and public subjectivity, as all theory is aimed to be communicated and used by the scholarly community and beyond. Understanding its public life, textual instigators (S1) aim to control its meaning employing various research methods to observe reality and then to convey their narrative, or “philosophy”. But meaning is not fixed; it is negotiated by S1 and those theories interpellate (S2), according to their own private and public subjectivity, which covers their ideology. Negotiated meaning is always a surprise to both  S1 and  S2, surprise which is both ironic and ideological. The book has ten chapters, an index and a list of references\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments   List of Illustrations   Introduction   1Marx, Irony and Ideology – Negotiating Meaning   2Meaning as a Result of Textual Instigation and Interpellation   1Contextualizing Marx: Differentiating to Embrace or to Reject?    1Marx and Dewey   2Linguistic and Cultural Barriers to Marx’s Works   3Cultural Lifespan   4Marxian Ideology as Soviet, ergo, Undesired, Subjectivity   5Marx’s Un-American Attitude toward Religion   6Marx’s Human Progress and Self-Promotion   2Marxian or Marxism: Labels Differentiating Content or Fabricating Difference?   3Textual Differences and Marx’s Interdisciplinary Dialectics   1Dialectics and Ideology: Thinking, Researching and Incorporating Observations   2Marxian Interdisciplinary Dialectics   3Dialectics and Post-Marxian Scholarship   4Private Subjectivity, Alienation and Theory Production   1Alienation as Creative Reification   2Alienation and Ideological Resistance to Power Structures   3Karl Marx, the Alienated Alienating Intellectual   5Ideology as Public (Political) Subjectivity   1Ideology through the Ages   2Marxian and Marxist Views on Ideology   3Academic (Ideological) Purges?   4Marx and Ideological Identity   5Ideology and Ideological Propaganda   6Mass Media – Ideology Is the Message   6The Irony of Scholarship Production   1Encoded Irony in T₁   2Dormant Irony as T₁ Textual Omissions   3Textual Irony and Rorty’s Intellectual Ironist   7Ideological Irony – S₂ Actuating T₁’s Meaning    1Irony and Direct Scholastic Criticism   2Scholarship as (Ironic) Polite Criticis   8The Bearable Lightness of Jurisprudential Irony   1Jurisprudential Irony as Inescapable Trade-Off between Scholastic Ambition and Reality   2Jurisprudential Irony and the Socratic Method of Teaching Law   3Jurisprudential Irony – Byproduct of Legal Hegemony   4Encoded Jurisprudential Irony   5United States Supreme Court Justices as Embodied Irony: The Late Justice Scalia and Justice Gorsuch   9Ironical Ideology, Difference of Meaning and Philosophical Camaraderie   1Plato’s Concepts of Just and Justice   2Aristotle’s Dialectical Universals   3Thomas Hobbes’ and John Locke’s Ideological Differences and Different Epistemological Conclusions   4The Intersection between the Abstract and Concrete Facets of the Law According to Montesquieu, Kant and Rousseau   5Jeremy Bentham’s Common Sense and Grotius’ Technocratic Approach to Law   6American Jurisprudence and Marx: Strange Bedfellows … Not   10Irony, Jurisprudential Meaning-Making and Ideological Camaraderie   1Classical Liberalism   2Law as Science or the Rejection of Ideology   3Formalism and Realism: Two Sides of the Same Coin   4The Limits of Rawls and Dworkin: Justice and Historical Contingency   5Critical Legal Studies and Marx   6Feminism and Queer Theory   7Intersectionality – Bridging the Gap between Theory and Reality   Summary and Conclusion   References   Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210787938647,"sku":"9789004415584","price":152.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-bourgeois-charm-of-karl-marx-the-ideological-irony-of-american-jurisprudence-9789004415584","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
