ΦΟΡΜΑΛΙΣΜΟΣ ΚΑΙ ΜΑΡΞΙΣΜΟΣ
Ο Τόνυ Μπένετ είναι Διευθυντής Προγράμματος για τη Λαϊκή Παιδεία του Ανοιχτού Πανεπιστημίου του Λονδίνου. Στη μελέτη του "Φορμαλισμός και μαρξισμός" υποστηρίζει πως η μαρξιστική λογοτεχνική κριτική ζημίωσε σοβαρά από τη διακοπή του διαλόγου με τους Ρώσους φορμαλιστές, οι προσανατολισμοί των οποίων θα τη βοηθούσαν να ξεπεράσει την "αισθητική", τα πλαίσια, με αλλά λόγια, της αστικής προβληματικής, και να διατυπώσει τους δικούς της, ιστορικούς και υλιστικούς, προβληματισμούς.

(P/B) FORMALISM AND MARXISM
Russian Formalism and Marxist criticism had a seismic impact on twentieth-century literary theory. First published in 1979, Tony Bennett's Formalism and Marxism offered a ground-breaking new interpretation of the Formalists' achievements and demanded a new way forward in Marxist criticism. Placing the work of key figures in context and addressing such issues as aesthetics, linguistics and the category of literature, form and function or literary evolution, Bennett argues that the Formalists' concerns provided the basis for a radically hist...
