Abstract
Born in Ireland in 1947, contributing to Marxian debates on state theory from the 1970s, and part of the open Marxist current of the 1990s, John Holloway has been based in Mexico since the early 1990s and is currently teaching at the Autonomous University of Puebla. Profoundly influenced by the Zapatistas, Holloway’s (2002) Change the World Without Taking Power was, along with Hardt and Negri’s (2000) Empire, one of the major theoretical expressions of the alternative globalization movement – both works deeply informed by Italian autonomism. In Hope in Hopeless Times, the final book in his trilogy, Holloway ably summarizes Change the World and its follow-up, Crack Capitalism (Holloway, 2010):
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Classical Sociology publishes cutting-edge articles that will command general respect within the academic community. The aim of the Journal of Classical Sociology is to demonstrate scholarly excellence in the study of the sociological tradition. The journal elucidates the origins of sociology and also demonstrates how the classical tradition renews the sociological imagination in the present day. The journal is a critical but constructive reflection on the roots and formation of sociology from the Enlightenment to the 21st century. Journal of Classical Sociology promotes discussions of early social theory, such as Hobbesian contract theory, through the 19th- and early 20th- century classics associated with the thought of Comte, Marx, Durkheim, Weber, Simmel, Veblen.
