If you're an economist I recommend reading Bohm-Bawerk.

Otherwise read Kolakowski for a right wing critique of Marxism. (Main Currents, 1978 etc)

>>4052723
It doesn't help if your academics portray post-modernism as a "triumph" rather than a bourgeois attempt to disorganise social history.

As you can tell I have rather strong scholarly opinions on this topic.

I do love hermeneutics as a reading method, but you can get that from Theology and don't have to touch a Frenchman.

>>4052718
>But there will always be the proletariat and bourgeois
No. Capitalism will end.
>it'll just be someone higher up who is middle class
Not really, the "middle class" of non-capital receiving management has hollowed out in "post-fordism." But given that you're using "middle class" to refer to "bourgeois" and seem to imply Engineers were "bourgeois" you're entirely incoherent on class.

Maybe you want to go read some "stratum" class analysis from instrumentalists?

>>4052717
To be honest, I've not seen any academic appointments in the last 10 years from people without a PhD. Working as an academic, it is a no-ticket-no-start requirement.

On the other hand I've seen a lot of people directly appointed to "academic administrator" ("Dean" "Sub-Dean" etc) whose research careers are nothing and thesis topics should have been rejected by the applications committee.

>>4052711
>No, I haven't read Empire.
I would suggest reading _Lenin in England_ and _Q_ instead of Negri.

Or _Reading Capital Politically_ and _Cybermarx_ instead of Negri.

I'd suggest cutting your left foot off and fucking a vicious dog with your bleeding stump instead of Negri.

>>4052712
For those who don't work in the industry that's 35 _contact_ hours. In my country the _highest legal_ contact hours for people conducting real academic work is 13. Most academics work 5-10 contact hours.

>>4052704
>Online education is going to be the death of English instructors everywhere.
Nope.

They'll want 35 hour a week "markers" and "chat room supervisors" for 20-30K in today's money.

So what are they wrong about this time?

Where I work Historiography is a 4th year course, taught by "absorption" and apprenticeship in undergraduate before 4th year.

Depends on what historiography you need. Now I'm here to sell you on Post-Thompsonian "from the documents" Marxism, with a little bit of hermeneutics to fuck with the popomomos.

(ps: Fuck the Po-lice.)

>>4052690
Fuck, may as well cunting namefag again.

Here I am chaps.

Manifesto was written for a party's demands.

>>4052558
u fucking wot cunt? Teachers, Nurses, Engineers, Junior Academics are all workers in my society.

Capital has commodified "intellectual" work completely.

Journos have been workers here since before 1900, and heavy drinking cunts too.

>>4046592
Pedagogy of higher education tends to be much more contested in terms of low order work structures. Also the larger theories of education are often not pitched at voluntary post secondary system problems. They rarely account for teachers conducting research with 40% of their time, or apprenticeship model pedagogy such as the PhD system

>>4046121
This is precisely what the scholars I cited do; what they don't do is conceal their findings below thick narrative. See Thompson's poverty of theory for fucks sake. Thompson finds class in 800pg of dense archival work. His intro draws attention to the fact he finds class

Stop straw manning me as a schematicist. None of the authors I cited were or are. All, however, explicitly voice their conclusions in the body of the text.

>>4046087
You show me an actual movement of workers that wants engaged from below oral history in my society, and I'll show you the three books already written by Wendy Lowenstein on the subject as co-research.

It's a job. It pays. You plays by the rules or it don't pay.

Unless you were criticising me from the right, in which case ha ha ha ha ha ha ha oh I pissed myself

>>4046258
Fuck off Maoist. We've been over the nature of circulation of value repeatedly and all you have is a falsified labour aristocracy thesis. More over, our scab cunt in the thread is working for the pope

>>4046297
I recommend haemorrhoid cream for general butt-devestation injuries.

>I am a nationalist. Come at me.

Your nationalism blinds you to the variety of anglophone nations common uses of words; which means you can't keep up with debate.

Otherwise my disagreement with nationalism is context specific. Non-chauvinist cultural expression like in 56 is fine with me.

>>4046198
Sure mate. With your fine church and deserving poor.

>>4046156
You speak like a nationalist cunt

>>4046143
In my society, mate, academics earn the median wage; are highly unionised; and, are a chief export earner

>>4046132
My university produces high school teachers from the bottom end of the matriculation pool, which, incredibly, correlates to low socio-economic background, non-Englih speaking background. I've saved a couple of skulls by using democracy. Helped in direct action to prevent political murders. And then the usual litany of strike work.

You didn't answer my question. The key word is "undeserving"

>>4046115
I'm sure I believe a conceited charity worker proud of working for one of the most repressive state/church formations in history ahead of Andy Anderson.

Tell me, do you minister to the undeserving poor? Does Jesus side cunt weep blood as he gets all slick for your piety inside of him?

>>4046046
Go read Thompson and Carlyle back to back. Detheorised history is simply concealed reactionary theory.

>>4046056
I know that pedagogy for children is different to in an academic setting, so I'm not going to go your content as long as you're making comparative statements.

There is a movement out there to crutch on narrative though, and your past expressions looked a lot like it. If you're interested, the term is "thick narrative." This is unlike more critical narrative uses as in Hayden White.
