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

RESUMEN This paper proposes a reading of Marx’s exposition of the forms of the real subsumption of labor to capital — in particular, the system of machinery of large-scale industry — as constituting the dialectical presentation of the determinations of revolutionary subjectivity PALABRAS CLAVE: Grundrisse; Revolutionary subjectivity; System of machinery DESCARGAR PDF

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

Starosta, G. (2012a). Cognitive commodities and the value-form. Science & Society, 76(3), 365-392.

RESUMEN One of the central claims of the “post-workerist” Cognitive Capitalism approach is that the specific ontology of cognitive commodities (costless reproducibility, indivisibility, non-rivalry, etc.) contributes to the obsolescence of the Marxian “law of value” in contemporary capitalism. Although that claim is usually presented as grounded on self-evident and unproblematic facts and implications of the … Leer más

RESUMEN Guido Starosta’s chapter, ‘The System of Machinery and Determinations of Revolutionary Subjectivity in the Grundrisse and Capital’, argues that Marx’s exposition of the forms of the real subsumption of labour to capital – in particular, the system of machinery of large-scale industry – constitutes the dialectical presentation of the determinations of revolutionary subjectivity.

RESUMEN Some recent Marxist contributions, among them the so-called New Solution to the “transformation problem,” call into question the idea of labor-power as a fully-fledged commodity. Yet, the rejection of the commodity nature of labor-power compromises Marx’s whole explanation of the origin of surplus-value on the basis of the exchange of equivalents. It can be … Leer más

RESUMEN The chapter argues that in the Logic Hegel managed to discover the simplest form of existence of the real: the movement of affirmation through self-negation. As a consequence, he correctly presents the method of science as the systematic unfolding of the immanent life of the subject-matter. However, in so far as Hegel´s systematic dialectic … Leer más
