Aprašymas

Representing Capital, Fredric Jameson’s first book-length engagement
with Marx’s magnum opus, is a unique work of scholarship that records
the progression of Marx’s thought as if it were a musical score. The textual
landscape that emerges is the setting for paradoxes and contradictions that
struggle toward resolution, giving rise to new antinomies and a new forward
movement. These immense segments overlap each other to combine and
develop on new levels in the same way that capital itself does, stumbling
against obstacles that it overcomes by progressive expansions, which are in
themselves so many leaps into the unknown.


Marx’s fundamental concepts are not presented philosophically, or in social-scientific
terms, but rather as a series of figures produced by the development
of the text. Jameson grasps Marx’s work as a representational problem and
an experiment in constructing the figure or model of the inexpressible
phenomenon that is capital.
