Alienation - Special Issue of New Proposals 9(1)

63 Pages
In spite of its clear and distinguished pedigree in European political philosophy and theology, the concept of alienation is now associated, almost exclusively, with Marxian critical theory and analysis. This special issue of New Proposals has three main objectives. The first is to collect recent scholarship primarily concerned with using, refining, or deploying the concept of alienation, showcasing the concept’s utility across a range of case studies and disciplines. Following this, the second objective is to highlight the philosophical methodology that underwrote Marx’s materialism, thus ensuring that it is not left off the agenda as the New Materialist turn unfolds. Third and finally, given the diverse expressions of alienation each paper in this collection of essays explores the historical, analytical, and practical underpinnings of the concept, its contemporary fate, and speculations on the trajectory of this idea. We hope the results will push readers to undertake a similar revisiting of the concept and using it in their own extensions of Marxian thought and analysis.
