BRahn,
I'm surprised that you are unfamiliar with the idea of post-moderism as the bedfellow of late 20th century globalising capitalism. I don't have John Bintliff's articles to hand for the references but a quick search of Wikipedia brings up the following:
"Literary critic Fredric Jameson describes postmodernism as the "dominant cultural logic of late capitalism." "Late capitalism" refers to the phase of capitalism after World War II, as described by economist Ernest Mandel; the term refers to the same period sometimes described by "globalization", "multinational capitalism", or "consumer capitalism". Jameson's work studies the postmodern in contexts of aesthetics, politics, philosophy, and economics.[2]"
Jameson was a Marxist, a stance not unfamiliar with the post-processual movement. I don't believe it is coincidental that post-processualism experienced a foothold during the laissez faire of Thatcherism.
Any chance of citing Bintliff's references?
