The past decade has witnessed a resurgence of interest in Marxism both within and without the academy. Marxian frameworks, concepts and categories continue to be narratively relevant to the features and events of contemporary capitalism. Most crucially, an attention to shifting cultural conditions has lead contemporary researchers to re-confront some classical and essential Marxist concepts, as well as elaborating new critical frameworks for the analysis of capitalism today. The SAGE Handbook of Marxism showcases this cutting-edge of today's Marxism. It advances the debate with essays that rigorously map and renew the concepts that have provided the groundwork and main currents for Marxist theory, and showcases interventions that set the agenda for Marxist research in the 21st century. A rigorous and challenging collection of scholarship, this book contains a stunning range of contributions from contemporary academics, writers and theorists from around the world and across disciplines, invaluable to scholars and graduate students alike. Part 1: Reworking the critique of political economy; Part 2: Forms of domination, subjects of struggle; Part 3: Political perspectives; Part 4: Philosophical dimensions; Part 5: Land and existence; Part 6: Domains; and Part 7: Inquiries and debates.

Artists have contributed to this process. An outstanding example is the 2010 Potosí Principle exhibit organized by German, Bolivian and Spanish artists and curators (Creischer et al., 2010) ...
