- Double-weighted statement
- Scenes from Bourgeois Life argues that contemporary bourgeois subjectivity has been shaped by the historical development of theatre spectatorship in the context of the colonial relation. Research involved (1) seven years work on core materials, much from a period outside prior areas of expertise; (2) substantial work in the collections of the Huntington Library, engaging with early eighteenth-century materials; (3) a sustained engagement with western Marxism?s consideration of the relations among ideology, culture and economic rationality (Luk?cs, Adorno, Sohn-Rethel), as well with historians of the transition to capitalism and the emergence of a colonial consumer culture in Britain.???
