I recently attended a lecture on contemporary literary theory and apparently Marxism is still quite a force to be reckoned with in that field. I was wondering how it's viewed in contemporary historiography.
I actually asked a similar (although different, and more loaded) question a while back. I'd certainly be interested in any further answers and hope your question prompts discussion. Here's the link to the question I asked. I should think that /u/kieslowskifan's answer might provide a relevant start point :)
