Marx and the dynamic of the capital formation: an aesthetics of political economy
Abstract
"This study offers a close examination of Marx's dialectical method of analysis through the lens of current debates in cultural studies, political economy, and critical sociology. It seeks to reanimate Marx's theoretical reconstruction of the capitalist formation from the point of view of recent and emerging social dynamics within advanced consumer economies. The book cosists of two parts: Part one reconstructs the defining movement of Marx's analytical approach as a function of abstraction. It demonstrates how Marx's method articulates a specific theory and practice of representation--one of the several dimensions through which it expresses an "aesthetic sensibility." Part two opens up to a broader analysis of the continuing pertinence of Marx's method in the analysis of contemporary global capitalism wherein cultural production takes centre stage."--BOOK JACKET.
Calismanin amaci; tarihi, toplumsal, ideolojik ve kulturel degisimlerden etkilenerek icerigi, tanimi ve sinirlari genisleyen saglik olgusunun yasadigi evrim surecinin bir tasvirinin yapilmasidir. Calismanin sonucunda degisen hekim kimliklerinin sagligin kulturlestiginin bir gostergesi oldugu bulunmustur. Indirgemeci, hastane sinirlarini asamayan, ilac sirketleriyle cikar iliskisi bulunan ve ticarilesen saglik olgusunun; bireylerin algilarini, davranislarini, yasama bicimlerini, dolayisiyla toplumsal hayatlarini donusturen bir yapi arz ettigi tespit edilmistir. Ayrica sagligin; yasami bir salgin ya da tedavi edilmesi gereken hastalik surecleri gibi sunmasi, dolayisiyla hayati tibbilestirmesi, bireyleri saglikla iliskili tum urunleri tuketmeye sevkettigi ortaya cikmistir.
In the aftermath of the defeat of the Arab Spring, this article looks at the inevitable failure of political Islam in power in Egypt and Tunisia and the unexpected consequences of the Arab Spring. This is done both in terms of the United States' apprehensions about Saudi Arabia's ability to control Jihadists in Syria and Libya but also its shift towards resolution of its conflict with Iran's Islamic Republic.
Within the last decade there has emerged a discourse around biopower that is characterized by two conceptual moves in particular: the mobilization of, and placing central importance on, the concept of “affect”; and the jettison of the concept of mediation. These two moves are often represented as sharing a mutual cause-and-effect relationship in the historical narrative of late capitalism: affect emerges as a significant mechanism of social organization in late capitalism when and because the process of mediation has become a redundancy, and is no longer considered an adequate rendering of the modality of that social formation. I argue that the mutual cause-and-effect relationship between affect and mediation could alternatively be called a dialectical relationship. I demonstrate that affect and mediation are not oppositional concepts, but can be understood as two different but interrelated effects of a single historical process.
