Starosta, G. (2007b). Value form and class struggle: A critique of the autonomist theory of value. (en colaboración con Kicillof, A.) Capital & Class, 31(2), 13–40.

RESUMEN This paper develops a critique of the ‘class struggle’ theory of value that emerged out of the autonomist Marxist tradition, arguing that although this theory has the merit of putting forward a production-centred, value-form approach, it eventually fails to grasp the determinations of value-producing labour. In particular, the notion of value as a mode of existence of the class struggle inverts … Leer más

Starosta, G. (2007a). On Materiality and Social Form: A Political Critique of Rubin’s Value-Form Theory. (en colaboración con Kicillof, A.) Historical Materialism, 15(3), 9–43.

RESUMEN This paper critically examines I.I. Rubin’s Essays on Marx’s Theory of Value and argues that two different approaches to value theory can be found in that book: a more ‘production-centred’ value-form theory uneasily co-exists with a ‘circulationist’ perspective. This unresolved tension, the authors claim, reflects a more general theoretical shortcoming in Rubin’s work, namely, … Leer más

Starosta, G. (2008). The Commodity-Form and the Dialectical Method: On the Structure of Marx’s Exposition in Chapter 1 of Capital. Science & Society, 72(3), 295–318.

RESUMEN The last 10 or 15 years have witnessed a renewed interest in Marx’s dialectical method and its implications for value theory. However, most works have not sufficiently thematized the peculiar role of the phase of analysis in Marx’s dialectical investigation generally and in his presentation in particular. Furthermore, they have not paid sufficient attention to the specific form of the … Leer más

RESUMEN Juan Iñigo Carrera’s chapter, ‘Method: from the Grundrisse to Capital’, explores the development of Marx’s method, from the 1840s onwards. Iñigo Carrera argues that the Grundrisse constitute a step in the development of an original method: the reproduction of the concrete by means of thought, as opposed to its representation – a method which, … Leer más

Starosta, G. (2010b). Marx studies in the Anglophone world. Fenomenologia e societa’, (3), 11–17.

RESUMEN Contemporary Marx scholarship in the Anglophone world revolves around the consolidation and refinement of certain themes and perspectives whose origins can be traced back to the late 1970s and early 1980s. These debates around Marx’s intellectual legacy have entailed both a methodological and a substantive re-examination of his major scientific work: Capital. This paper offers … Leer más

Starosta, G. (2010a). Global commodity chains and the Marxian law of value. Antipode, 42(2), 433–465.

RESUMEN This paper develops a Marxian critique of the “global commodity chain” (GCC) paradigm. It is argued that this approach fails to provide an actual explanation of the phenomenon it sets about to investigate. Instead, it offers a typological description of the immediate manifestations of the determinations at stake. As a consequence, the GCC approach … Leer más

Starosta, G. (2011). On Value and Abstract Labour: A Reply to Werner Bonefeld. (en colaboración con Kicillof, A.) Capital & Class, 2(35), 295–305.

RESUMEN This article offers a reply to Werner Bonefeld’s recent contribution to the debate on value and abstract labour, in which he critically engages with our previous articles dealing with these questions. We argue that Bonefeld’s criticisms are not simply based on disagreements over these controversial issues, but also on a misunderstanding of our stance … Leer más
