Micro-Politics
Agency in a Postfeminist Era
Patricia S. Mann
1994 Spring
Offers a radical alternative to feminist identity politics. According to Mann’s bold and original analysis, our political agency is prior to our sense of identity today. Micro-Politics provides a framework in which hierarchies of race, sex, class, as well as gender are figured as contested sites of struggle in our everyday lives.
Hegemony and Power
On the Relation between Gramsci and Machiavelli
Benedetto Fontana
1993 Fall
Presents a comparative and textual exploration of Gramsci’s interpretation of Machiavelli’s political anlayses. This valuable contribution to our understanding of Gramsci includes a comparison of the major Machiavellian ideas such as the nature of political knowledge, the new principality, the concept of the people, and the relation between thought and action, to Gramsci’s concepts of hegemony, moral and intellectual reform, and the collective will.
Knowing Nukes
The Politics and Culture of the Atom
William Chaloupka
1992 Spring

Star Wars (the movie and the antimissile system), the Freeze movement, Reaganism, and “lifestyle” politics all receive new treatments.
