About the book >.>.> This book was inspired by the revolutionary events in Russia and Eastern Europe that began in 1989. The political and economic turmoil that followed prompted questions about the continued validity and legacy of Gy?rgy Luk?cs's critical theories to a world that had just experienced the apparent bankruptcy of communism, an ideology that had risen and now seemed to have died nearly simultaneously with Luk?cs. In 1991 a visit to a major bookstore in Budapest, Gy?rgy Luk?cs's hometown, resulted in the discovery of only one book on the Hun- garian philosopher and critic, Hungary's most noted intellectual in the twentieth century.

Paperback. 209 pp. - Since the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe, the validity of Marxism and Marxist theory has undergone intense scrutiny both within and outside the academy. In Lukács After Communism, Eva L. Corredor conducts ten lively and engaging interviews with a diverse group of international scholars to address the continued relevance of György Lukács's theories to the post-communist era. Corredor challenges these theoreticians, who each have been influenced by the man once considered the foremost theoretician of Marxist aesthetics, to reconsider the Lukácsean legacy and to speculate on Marxist theory's prospects in the coming decades. The scholars featured in this collectionEtienne Balibar, Peter Bürger, Terry Eagleton, Fredric Jameson, Jacques Leenhardt, Michael Löwy, Roberto Schwarz, George Steiner, Susan Suleiman, and Cornel Westdiscuss a broad array of literary and political topics and present provocative views on gender, race, and economic relations. Corredor's introduction provides a biographical synopsis of Lukács and discusses a number of his most important theoretical concepts. Maintaining the ongoing vitality of Lukács's work, these interviews yield insights into Lukács as a philosopher and theorist, while offering anecdotes that capture him in his role as a teacher-mentor.
