| - | '''Post-Marxism''' has two related but different uses. Post-marxism can be used to refer to the situation in [[Eastern Europe]] and the ex-Soviet republics after the fall of the [[Soviet Union]], or it can be used to represent the theoretical work of [[philosopher]]s and [[Social theory|social theorists]] who have built their theories upon those of [[Karl Marx]] and [[Marxism|Marxists]] but exceeded the limits of those theories in ways that puts them outside of [[Marxism]]. Particularly, post-Marxism argues against [[derivationism]] and [[essentialism]] (for example, the state is not an instrument and does not ‘function’ unambiguously or relatively autonomously in the interests of a single class). | ||

| - | Post-Marxism dates from the late 1960s; several trends and events of that period influenced its development. The weakness of the [[Russia]]n [[Communist]] [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] paradigm became evident beyond Russia. This happened concurrently with the occurrence internationally of the [[French May|student riots of 1968]], the rise of [[Maoism | Maoist theory]], and the proliferation of commercial [[television]], which covered in its broadcasts the [[Vietnam War]]. | ||
| - | ===Semiology and discourse=== | ||
| - | When [[Roland Barthes]] began his sustained [[critique]] of [[mass culture]] via semiology — the science of signs — and the book ''[[Mythologies (book)|Mythologies]]'', some Marxist philosophers based their social criticism upon linguistics, semiotics, and discourse. Basing his approach on Barthes' work, [[Jean Baudrillard|Baudrillard]] wrote ''For a Critique of the Political Economy of the Sign'' (1972), criticizing contemporary [[Marxism]] for ignoring the [[sign value]] of its philosophic discourse. | ||

Post-Marxism is a trend in political philosophy and social theory which deconstructs Karl Marx's writings and Marxism proper, bypassing orthodox Marxism. The term post-Marxism first appeared in Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe's theoretical work Hegemony and Socialist Strategy. It can be said that post-Marxism as a political theory was developed at the University of Essex by Laclau and Mouffe. Philosophically, post-Marxism counters derivationism and essentialism (for example, it does not see economy as a foundation of politics and the state as an instrument that functions unambiguously and autonomously on behalf of the interests of a given class). Recent overviews of post-Marxism are provided by Ernesto Screpanti, Göran Therborn and Gregory Meyerson.
