15198. NICOS POULANTZAS AND HEIDI HARTMANN ON CLASS STRUCTURING IN CONTEMPORARY CAPITALIST SOCIETY. Both theorists follow a Marxist orientation, but they differ from one another because of Poulantzas' structuralism and Hartmann's feminism. Poulantzas expanded and clarified Marxist class theory by adding new categories and definitions; Hartmann argues that the patriarchial exploitation of women goes beyond class distinctions and that it has its locus in the family and housework. 6 pages, 21 footnotes, 6 bibliographic references.
