Abstract

The relationship between culture and politics as posited in classical Marxism is open to discussion on numerous grounds. Gramsci, for instance, thought it was a distortion to regard culture as an "ideological superstructure." Sahlins and Habermas allege that Marx impoverished the concept of culture by assigning priority to labor over symbolization. Professor Adamson examines these critiques, finds them wanting, and proposes ways of rethinking the relationship between culture and politics within the Marxist tradition.
