where egalitarian concerns are able to socialise the operation of the market and
provide a space to negotiate the expression of difference. This is not to privilege class
over other identities, but to recognise the growing forms of social and cultural
apartheid that both further polarises questions of difference and increases the dom-
inance of the market. This is likely to be a difficult circle to square for critics and
activists alike in a world where such claims are increasingly hard to raise. However,
my argument is that the cultural Left urgently needs to find new ways to avoid both
celebrating the market or dismissing the different forms of subjectivity that attempt
to link questions of ethics and identity. If we can do that, then questions of cultural
citizenship might come increasingly to the fore.
