Unfortunately, Clouscard's writings have been, for the most part, completely unknown in the Anglosphere. Due to a series of factors, some of which Clouscard himself deftly diagnosed, the global theory industry has promoted anti-communist French theory-as well as forms of Marxism opposed to actually existing socialism-at the expense of thinkers like Clouscard and Monville. This is a direct consequence of U.S. cultural and intellectual imperialism, which has been the driving force behind the phenomenon known as\u0026gt;\u003cem\u003eFrench Theory\u003c\/em\u003e. As Monville is a major intellectual, editor, and activist in his own right, this newtranslation has the advantage of spotlighting the research of two major Francophone Marxists. Moreover, Monville is in many ways the ideal guide to Clouscard's expansive body of writings, which he has worked through assiduously. Although there are many major insights to be found in them, Clouscard's writings are often more suggestive and provocative than demonstrative and pedagogical. Monville's framing and presentation of his work thereby brings clarity and precision to his project.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the first time in the English language, Iskra Books is happy to make available Aymeric Monville's foundational essay on Clouscard, \u003cem\u003eNeocapitalism According to Michel Clouscard\u003c\/em\u003e, translated by Philip Gendrault, and with a foreword by acclaimed theorist Gabriel Rockhill.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51019044716817,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51019047534865,"sku":"NIN9781088188040","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52689866752273,"sku":"NLS9781088188040","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1088188044.jpg?v=1751080808"},{"product_id":"for-a-few-canards-more-book-aymeric-monville-9798330262090","title":"For a Few Canards More","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51524263313681,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51524263379217,"sku":"GOR014315880","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53636996595985,"sku":"NLS9798330262090","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53660995354897,"sku":"NIN9798330262090","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B0DB13W5LT.jpg?v=1750872254"},{"product_id":"requiem-for-french-theory-book-aymeric-monville-9781685901509","title":"Requiem for French Theory","description":"French   Theory is due for an insider critique, and in Requiem for French Theory,   Aymeric Monville and Gabriel Rockhill do just that. Drawing upon decades of   studying French philosophy in Paris, they build upon the best Marxist   criticisms of postmodernism, while further developing them by situating   postmodern theory within the global political economy of knowledge and   U.S.-driven intellectual imperialism. The result is a broad dialogue on   topics ranging from international class struggle and the dissemination of   ideology, to fascism, identity politics, dialectics, actually existing   socialism, and among others.            Requiem for French Theory soundly criticizes this tradition’s chameleonic   ideological permutations under new names, such as postcolonial thought,   decolonial theory, new materialism, and other trendsetting discourses. But it   also reveals how these theoretical developments are all part of a broader   anticommunist cultural front. Most importantly, Monville and Rockhill develop   the positive project of anti-imperialist Marxism as the ultimate antidote to   French theoretical sophistry. Far from indulging in the political defeatism   characteristic of the Western Marxist critiques of postmodernism, this   intellectual exchange issues a clarion call for revitalizing revolutionary   theory and putting it into practice.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52880090628369,"sku":"NGR9781685901509","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53698688319761,"sku":"NLS9781685901509","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781685901509.jpg?v=1766659024"},{"product_id":"requiem-for-french-theory-book-aymeric-monville-9781685901493","title":"Requiem for French Theory","description":"French   Theory is due for an insider critique, and in Requiem for French Theory,   Aymeric Monville and Gabriel Rockhill do just that.
