Between Freud and a Naked Woman: Notes on Sabina Berman’s Dora
In January of 2001, theater-goers in Mexico City were treated to a "scene" worthy of Charcot's notorious séances with hysterics at the Salpêtrière in Paris : on the stage, a young woman called "Dora" is lying naked on an operating table, flanked by two characters called Sigmund Freud and Lou Andreas-Salomé, both of them fully dressed. Mere seconds after the latter announces in an aside to the audience that the doctor has decided to perform a "maj…
Marx con Morgan: La vía mexicana hacia la comuna
La lectura de Lewis H. Morgan por parte de Karl Marx no sólo produce un cambio paradigmático desde una visión progresista lineal de la historia hacia un perspectivismo multilineal en el que hay lugar para el desarrollo desigual, los saltos y los retornos del pasado “arcaico” en el futuro próximo del comunismo. También le permite a Marx plantear, con base en la historia profunda del antiguo México, la posibilidad del levantamiento revolucionario d…
From Marx to Heidegger: Oscar del Barco and the crisis of Marxism
This article traces the path from Marx to Heidegger along which the Argentine philosopher Oscar del Barco responded to the crisis of Marxism. Interrogating Heidegger’s own suggestion of a ‘fruitful dialogue’ with Marx’s thinking of history and alienation, Del Barco gradually moved to a critique of Marxism as being part and parcel of the twice millenarian tradition of Western metaphysics. If, in an earlier collection such as El otro Marx , he stil…
Lire Le Capital depuis les marges: Notes sur la logique du développement inégal
Partant d’un panorama indicatif des lectures latino-américaines d’Althusser, cet article tente de cerner la source des interrogations de Che Guevara suscitées par les énoncés de Pour Marx érigeant la thèse du développement inégal en « loi primitive » qui ne « souffre aucune exception », avant d’amplifier les implications contradictoires d’une tendance à « transcendantaliser » le principe d’inégalité comme « décalage » inhérent à toute structure d…

Introduction: This People Which Is Not One
Towards a Theory of the Integral State
This review assesses the strengths and weaknesses of Peter Thomas’s long-awaited study of The Prison Notebooks , based on his extensive research and philological reconstruction of the critical edition. I distinguish three senses in which the ‘moment’ in the book’s title can be understood: as the historical moment around 1932 in which Gramsci proposed the outline of his distinct brand of the philosophy of praxis; as the moment or momentum that sti…

Alain Badiou seeks to provide a theory of the subject for Marxism through a study of Lacanian psychoanalysis, offering a major contribution to Marxism, as well as to the larger debate regarding the relationship between psychoanalysis and philosophy. The book also provides a theory of structural thought, a contemporary redefinition of materialism, a unique evaluation of the achievements of French Maoism during the 1970s and the significance of the…

Nonplaces: An Anecdoted Topography of Contemporary French Theory
Nonplaces:An Anecdoted Topography of Contemporary French Theory Bruno Bosteels (bio) In its juridical sense, a non-lieu is a judgment that suspends, annuls, or withdraws a case without bringing it to trial. It is thus a judgment that announces or enunciates that there will be no judgment as to guilt or innocence, a finding that there is no place to judge. It therefore renders justice by refusing to render it under the law, which it does when it p…
