- W577495529 abstract "concept of “neoliberalism.” In neoliberalism, I seemed to find an answer to my question that satisfied both aspects of my curiosity, as neoliberalism operates on the plane of 2 There are, of course, third party candidates in the United States, but they pose no real threat to the establishment. I have voted for them in the past, but I have no false pretenses about such a vote, at present, arousing meaningful political change on the federal level. Local politics, though, is another story. 2 ideology/symbols and the plane of material/economic structures. Neoliberalism, I then concluded, must be what is responsible for the present state of American politics. But this was not the end of it; what I had originally thought to be an answer was really just the beginning of a whole new series of questions. The more I investigated neoliberalism, the more I realized how contested such a term was. Whereas I had originally understood it to be a simplistic, universal, and totally dominating ideology along the lines of someone like Anderson (2000), I quickly found that there were many scholars and critics (to name a few, Barnett, 2005; Gamble, 2001; Castree, 2010; Peck, 2004) who had more complicated and nuanced theories and explanations of neoliberalism’s character, its power, and its functioning. Eventually I read Touraine’s (2001) book, Beyond Neoliberalism, which flipped my thinking on its head. He proposes that leftists who characterize neoliberalism as a totalizing ideology of pure domination and hegemony are akin to those on the right (like Fukuyama, 1992) who celebrate neoliberalism as the end of history, the final victory of free market capitalism against all other forms of economic management. Both sides, Touraine (2001: 1) argues, hold “one essential feature in common: neither believes in the existence of autonomous social actors who are capable of influencing political decision-making.” What the right was to celebrate, the left was to mourn, but for either side, there was nothing to be done. This was not a conclusion I was willing to make; I am not yet able to concede the possibility for social actors to arise, challenge, and change the social order. I refuse to submit to such blind pessimism, though I am not completely optimistic either. Regardless, I know that, at the very least, the future is not yet decided, and we must attempt, at the very least, to change the social world. My central question then quickly evolved. Though it may be stated quite simply, it is not easy to answer. “How,” I asked, “may we contest the dominance of neoliberalism?”" @default.
