摘要

Marc Stears的《与众不同：日常生活如何激励一个国家以及它如何再次成为一个国家》是一部引人入胜、真诚的政治理论著作。Stears在书中探讨了20世纪30年代、40年代和50年代许多英国作家和艺术家的作品——Bill Brandt、Barbara Jones、Laurie Lee、George Orwell、JB Priestley和Dylan Thomas——如何帮助我们克服我们这个时代的一些懒惰的意识形态惯例，这些惯例表明，不可能同时重视传统和进步、爱国主义和多样性，个人权利和社会义务、民族主义和国际主义、保守主义和激进主义。在这篇评论中，我强调了斯特尔斯书中及时而引人入胜的元素，同时也对他对待“日常”的方式以及他对我们政治弊病的蓝工党解决方案提出了质疑。

Suet puddings and red pillarboxes: A review of Marc Stears’ Out of the Ordinary

Marc Stears’ Out of the Ordinary: How Everyday Life Inspired a Nation and How It Can Again is an engaging and sincere work of political theory. In it, Stears explores how the work of a number of British writers and artists in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s – Bill Brandt, Barbara Jones, Laurie Lee, George Orwell, JB Priestley and Dylan Thomas – can help us to overcome some of the lazy ideological conventions of our time which suggest it is impossible to simultaneously value tradition and progress, patriotism and diversity, individual rights and social duties, nationalism and internationalism, conservativism and radicalism. In this review, I highlight the timely and engaging elements of Stears’ book while also raising doubts about his treatment of the ‘everyday’ and his Blue Labour solutions to our political ills.

期刊介绍： The European Journal of Political Theory provides a high profile research forum. Broad in scope and international in readership, the Journal is named after its geographical location, but is committed to advancing original debates in political theory in the widest possible sense--geographical, historical, and ideological. The Journal publishes contributions in analytic political philosophy, political theory, comparative political thought, and the history of ideas of any tradition. Work that challenges orthodoxies and disrupts entrenched debates is particularly encouraged. All research articles are subject to triple-blind peer-review by internationally renowned scholars in order to ensure the highest standards of quality and impartiality.
