The Popular is Plural: Creating a Left Political Culture

Abstract

This is not an article about cultural politics. It is, in the first instance, about a more extended concept of cullture than the one we are more accustomed to. By implication, the concept of 'the political' which goes with it is also more extended. These 'extensions' - my main argument goes - are increasingly necessary in the consolidation, formation and re-formation of a popular theoretical, intellectual and cultural base for socialism in Australia.
