Language in Ernst Bloch's Speculative Materialism by Nathaniel Barron
Nathaniel Barron offers the first book length account in English of Ernst Bloch's contribution to a Marxist philosophy of language. It is ambitious both in situating Bloch's ideas in the broader Marxist engagement with language as it currently exists, and in using Bloch's utopian categories to challenge that engagement. In particular, Barron reads Voloshinov's insights into language through Bloch's categories, and argues that Bloch advances on Voloshinov by offering an understanding of the social materiality of language which is more useful for challenging fascist forms of utterance.
Nathaniel J.P. Barron, Ph.D. (2018), University of Central Lancashire, is Teaching Fellow in Social Theory at the University of Birmingham.
