- Title
"We'll call it a draw": Footballing against late capitalism with Terry Eagleton.
- Authors
Glabazňa, Radek
- Abstract
This article studies the ways in which the Marxist theorist Terry Eagleton has addressed the current fascination with football as a phenomenon symptomatic of the late capitalist economy. The article further investigates Eagleton's critique of the social and cultural significance of football as a textual strategy assisting him in building a persuasive line of argument in favour of traditional philosophical categories, which he is trying to recover from deconstructionist and poststructuralist assaults. The article therefore reads Eagleton's writings on football in the context of his larger project of writing against postmodernism and its cultural and political complacency.
