"Discusses the specifically urban aspects of antiglobalization protest movements through a reinterpretation of Henri Lefebvre's urban Marxism that links it to the work of Antonio Gramsci. Such a rereading, unlike poststructuralist & political-economy treatments of urban Marxism, focuses on hegemony & everyday life. The aim is to offer a metapolitical & metatheoretical orientation rather than a comprehensive "Gramscian-Lefebvrian" urban Marxist model. The significance of everydayness & difference in the proposed orientation allows for a potential new metatheoretical point of departure toward reconceptualizing urban Marxism in response to poststructuralist questions about difference. Nonetheless, this reconceptualization entails dialogue with theorists sympathetic to Lefebvre's dialectical humanism but also concerned with his theoretical inattention to matters of racism, patriarchy, & imperialism."
