THE BLOGPAGES

Welcome to the blogpages of Political Power and Social Theory (PPST), a biannual scholarly journal published by Emerald Publishing. In these pages we offer special features relating the latest PPST volumes, special symposia on current events and issues, and various other reviews and forums with contributions from guest writers and PPST authors. The medium may be different from the journal, but the spirit is the same: to offer a space for critical social scientific reflection on power and politics in the world.

WHAT'S

NEW

 
Volume 37 "Rethinking Class and Social Difference” edited by Barry Eidlin and Michael McCarthy available now!
 
Rethinking Class and Social Difference brings together contributions from scholars developing new social scientific and theoretical approaches to a wide range of differing forms of social difference and inequality, especially as they are rooted in and informed by the political economy of capitalism. These include race, nationalism, sexuality, professional classes, domestic employment, digital communication and uneven economic development.
 
The volume is brought together by a focus on how seemingly class-neutral processes of social difference and inequality are deeply related to class inequality. Ultimately, the volume argues for a brave rethinking of the ways that class and other forms of social difference are bound together. Read the introduction by Eidlin and McCarthy.
