- Dr. Langman is primarily a social theorist writing in the tradition
of the Frankfurt School-especially their early concerns with character
and culture, which currently inform questions of identity and hegemony
in a global age. His theoretical writing examines the nature of self, subjectivity
and modernity dealing with questions such as agency, or its lack, as alienation.
His substantive research interests concern the dialects of political economy,
culture and identity in such varied forms as Islamic fundamentalism, alternative
globalization movements and the carnivalization of culture. Dr. Langman
has widely published in these areas and has a forthcoming book on the Carnivalization
of America.
