Summary Representing Capital, Fredric Jamesonʹs first book-length engagement with Marxʹs magnum opus, is a unique work of scholarship that records the progression of Marxʹs 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. Marxʹs 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 Marxʹs work as a representational problem and an experiment in constructing the figure or model of the inexpressible phenomenon that is capital. -- Publisher description.
