It is a project — this confuses the Left no end — which is, simultaneously, regressive and progressive. Regressive because, in certain crucial respects, it takes us backwards. You couldn't be going anywhere else but backwards to hold up before the British people, at the end of the 20th century, the idea that the best the future holds is for them to become, for a second time, 'Eminent Victorians'. It's deeply regressive, ancient and archaic.
But don't misunderstand it. It's also a project of 'modernisation'. It is a form of regressive modernisation. Because, at the same time, Thatcherism had its beady eye fixed on one of the most profound historical facts about the British social formation: that it never ever properly entered the era of modern bourgeois civilisation. It never made that transfer to modernity.

It is this which begins to give substance and specificity to Marx's basic proposition that 'the ruling ideas of any age are the ideas of its ruling class'. Marx's contention is that this dominance of 'ruling ideas' operates primarily because, in addition to its ownership and control of the means of material production, this class also owns and controls the means of 'mental production'. In producing their definition of social reality, and the place of 'or- dinary people' within it, they construct a particular image of society which represents particular class interests as the interests of all members of society.

Could you explain a bit more? shilhorst https://padlet.com/shilhorst/emd9wkb8k37iru6r/wish/2113880221 The Mol text is a tricky one, absolutely. I would say that it is easier to understand once you know what she is arguing against. In Western philosophy, since the writing of the philosopher René Descartes, there has been a distinction between the "subject" - he who observes - and the "object" - that which is perceived. The subject is supposedly neutral and universal, but according to feminist critiques implicitly coded as male. The subject comes to be associated with the mind, and with rational thinking. Annemarie Mol is trying to challenge these oppositions, between subject and object, male and female, mind and matter, rationality and feeling. Sure, she says, the subject might perceive an apple as though it is distinct from himself, but without the sustenance that the apple (or any other type of food) provides, s/he would die from hunger. So the subject and the object are not as separate as they seem. We also tend to assume that the subject has agency, whereas the object is passive. This, too, she challenges (think of the joke about the grains). Once we get rid of this idea of the subject as a rational mind which perceives passive objects, we can start to recognise how intertwined we are with the world. ]]> 2022-03-25 14:12:10 UTC https://padlet.com/shilhorst/emd9wkb8k37iru6r/wish/2113880221 Post your exam-related questions here! shilhorst https://padlet.com/shilhorst/emd9wkb8k37iru6r/wish/2115483955 2022-03-27 11:36:20 UTC https://padlet.com/shilhorst/emd9wkb8k37iru6r/wish/2115483955
