Raymond Williams

    31 augustus 1921 – 26 januari 1988

    Raymond Henry Williams was een Welshe academicus, romanschrijver en criticus. Zijn uitgebreide geschriften over politiek, cultuur, de massamedia en literatuur vertegenwoordigen een belangrijke bijdrage aan de marxistische kritiek op cultuur en kunst. Williams legde de basis voor het vakgebied culturele studies en de cultureel-materialistische benadering. Zijn literaire analyse en kritische perspectief vormden sleuteldiscussies binnen de Nieuwe Linkse beweging en de bredere cultuur.

      A comprehensive introduction to the work of one of the outstanding intellectuals of the twentieth century.Raymond Williams is a towering presence in cultural studies, most importantly as the founder of the apporach that has come to be known as “cultural materialism.” Yet Williams’s method was always open-ended and fluid, and this volume collects together his most significant work from over a twenty-year peiod in which he wrestled with the concepts of materialism and culture and their interrelationship. Aside from his more directly theoretical texts, however, case-studies of theatrical naturalism, the Bloomsbury group, advertising, science fiction, and the Welsh novel are also included as illustrations of the method at work. Finally, Williams’s identity as an active socialist, rather than simply an academic, is captured by two unambiguously political pieces on the past, present and future of Marxism.
