Politics of Truth

Politics of Truth: From Marx to Foucault is a non-fiction book by Michèle Barrett, published in 1992 by Polity Press.

Synopsis

It examined whether the Marxist concept of ideology was still useful or whether post-structuralism's concepts of power and subjectivity should replace it.[1] Barrett had moved from the "scientific" position of Althusser to the discourse approach of Foucault.[2]

Reviews

According to Miriam Adelman, Barrett commented on how "critical theory ... gradually frees itself from restrictive Marxist language and concepts and in doing so, undergoes a paradigm change". Barrett describes how "plural constructed heritages" contribute to scholarly fields and cautions against "disciplinary policing".[3] Martin Gardiner said it was "an engaging and at times impassioned read".[1] Renate Bridenthal was critical of what she saw as a muddled review of Marxist views of ideology and namedropping, concluding that "Failing an original thesis, the purpose and readership of this book are unclear",[4] while Kate Soper said "Barrett is much more confident about the need to go beyond Marx than about what to put in his place".[5] Gregor McLennan focussed on Barrett's work as an exemplary study of post-Marxism and its critique of reductionism and universalism, commenting that "her hesitations, to me, signal a commendable awareness" while calling Barrett's analysis superficial.[6]
