The SAGE Handbook of Historical Theory

In recent years, marketing history has emerged as a major research stream. Impressive and welcome though these historical studies are, they are predicatedon traditional research perspectives. History, however, is embroiled in a seriou sepistemological crisis, precipitated by the advent of postmodernism. Marketers, therefore, are becoming more historically minded at a time when accepted historical approaches are under mounting attack and the discipline is dissolving into a state of scholarly civil war. Indeed, the cutting edge of contemporary historical scholarship is found in the field of literary criticism, where historicism is replacing deconstructionas the method of the moment. This article examines the postmodern critique of(marketing) history, explains the literary theorists’ textual alternative, provides a worked example of postmodern historicism and explicates the methodological implications for marketing research.

Periodizing the American Century: Modernism, Postmodernism, and Postcolonialism in the Cold War Context

The hegemony of neoliberalism now poses a fundamental challenge to planners worldwide. Most influential in this regard has been Francis Fukuyama’s End of History ideology and its progenies – or mutations – such as the Third Way. A close reading of their proponents (especially Anthony Giddens) and critics (Perry Anderson, Pierre Bourdieu, Alex Callinicos, John Gray and others) with reference to the contrasting political-economic theories of Friedrich von Hayek and Karl Polanyi, however, reveals the fundamental contradictions of neoliberalism – especially between capitalism and democracy – and identifies for progressive planning the role of extending radical democracy to the realms of the state and the economy.

The Future of Planning at the End of History

History, be it Fukuyama's liberal democracy or Baudrillard's hyperreality, according to a number of pundits, has reached the end of the line. Yet these heated debates are themselves profoundly ahistorical, for the conception of posthistoire, "the end of history", has been a recurrent theme since the late 19th century. Lutz Niethammer, Germany's leading radical historian, here uncovers this intellectual history of disillusion and resignation. Tracing the idea of history's end back to Nietzsche and Spengler, he examines its manifestations in the views of writers in France and Germany, particularly during the interwar years. Many were thinkers of the Right; Ernst Junger, Jacques Doriot and Arnold Gehlen. Others, above all Alexandre Kojeve, belonged to the Left. But whether they pinned their hopes on the nation or the proletariat, they shared a common response to the "failure" of the masses to fulfil a prescribed role. They all conflated the apparent collapse of a particular historical project with the collapse of history of itself. A central theme is the reaction of intellectual elites to the rise of mass culture and the crises of mass movements. Niethammer offers an alternative in the approach of Walter Benjamin, who, despite his critiques of technological mass civilization, refused to deny the fact that people make and transform history. For all those who stil refuse to believe that human history has ground to a standstill, Posthistoire should be interesting reading. Subject is currently at the centre of political and intellectual debate, provoked by publication of Fukuyama's "The End of History and the Last Man". Will appeal to the large general and academic audience built up by Fukuyama's book. This book is the first comprehensive left critique of the "end of history". Will be read by the political left, and be required reading of apologists of the concept of any political hue.
