Description

Product Description The Structural Lie tackles one of social science's most mysterious problems. How is it possible to derive statements about the grand structures of social life from their effects in the small movements of everyday life? Prominent sociologist Charles Lemert shows how Marx and Freud provide some answers to this question. Marx derived from the commodity his picture of the capitalist system, Freud diagnosed the character of psyches from the details of dreams, slips and jokes. This wonderfully readable and engaging book lays the foundation for a new social science in an age where a microchip can convey a world of information. Review “I love the brilliance of Lemert’s writing and the force of his critique.” ―Dorothy E. Smith, University of Victoria, Canada "Charles Lemert's comprehensive critique of the 'social unconscious', of Marx and Freud reappraised, in 'The Structural Lie' crowns a career devoted to innovation of the highest order in social theory. This is a brave, brilliant book". - Professor Anthony Elliott, Chair of Sociology, Flinders University, Australia and Visiting Research Professor, Open University, UK About the Author Charles Lemert is Andrus Professor of Sociology at Wesleyan University, Connecticut. He is the author of Durkeim's Ghosts (2006).
