In Culture and Domination John Brenkman delineates the link between cultural interpretation and social theory through a forceful, critical reassessment of hermeneutics, Marxism, and psychoanalysis. He challenges the claim of traditional hermeneutics that culture is a realm of meaning and value set apart from social relations of domination and power. The alternative hermeneutics he advocates builds on Marxism and psychoanalysis but also disputes some of their most basic premises and concepts.
