• Sommario/riassunto: Marxism's collapse in the twentieth century profoundly altered the style and substance of Western European radical thought. To build a more robust form of democratic theory and action, prominent theorists moved to reject revolution, abandon class for more fragmented models of social action, and elevate the political over the social. Acknowledging the constructedness of society and politics, they chose the "symbolic" as a concept powerful enough to reinvent leftist thought outside a ; Marxist framework. Following Maurice Merleau-Ponty's Adventures of the Dialectic, which reassessed philosophical Marxism at mid century, Warren Breckman critically revisits these thrilling experiments in the aftermath of Marxism.The post-Marxist idea of the symbolic is dynamic and complex, uncannily echoing the early German Romantics, who first advanced a modern conception of symbolism and the symbolic. Hegel and Marx denounced the Romantics for their otherworldly and nebulous posture, yet post-Marxist thinkers appreciated the rich potential of the ambiguities and paradoxes the Romantics first recognized. Mapping different ideas of the symbolic among contemporary thinkers, Breckman traces a fascinating reflection of Romantic themes and resonances, and he explores in depth the effort to reconcile a radical and democratic political agenda with a politics that does not privilege materialist understandings of the social. Engaging with the work of Claude Lévi-Strauss, Cornelius Castoriadis, Claude Lefort, Marcel Gauchet, Ernesto Laclau, Chantal Mouffe, and Slavoj Žižek, Breckman uniquely situates these important theorists within two hundred years of European thought and extends their profound relevance to today's political activism.

• Sommario/riassunto: Skillingsvisene var i 400 år en populær sjanger over hele Europa. De bød på nyheter og underholdning, patos og romantikk. Visene ble hurtig spredt gjennom skillingstrykk, små sanghefter som ble solgt for en skilling eller to. Men da moderne medier tok over formidlingen av sanger, ble skillingstrykkene stuet vekk i bibliotekenes og museenes mørke kjellere. Denne boka handler om hvordan skillingsvisene fant veien inn i nye medier og sjangre, fra 1920-tallets revyscener, via radio og vinyl, til 2020-tallets internettvideoer. Det er en historie om innsamling, arkivarbeid, re-mediering og revitalisering. Alf Prøysen og Bob Dylan brukte skillingsviser som katalysator for sin skapende kraft. Rita Engebretsen og Helge Borglund gjorde Frem fra glemselen til Norges mestselgende plateserie. Ole Paus og Else Michelet omskapte nyhetsviser til politisk satire. Elias Akselsen revitaliserte tatervisene, mens Grove Horn har gjort rallarviser til rallarpop. I pandemiens tid er sjangeren igjen aktuell. Det går en linje fra de gamle epidemi-visene til dagens koronasanger. Arven fra skillingsvisene er en frittstående oppfølger til Skillingsvisene i Norge 1550-1950. Studier i en forsømt kulturarv, redigert av Siv Gøril Brandtzæg og Karin Strand.
