Written at a time when the political sequences of the New Left had collapsed into crisis and violence, with widespread political exhaustion for the competing sectarian visions of Marxism from 1968, Karatani’s \u003cem\u003eMarx\u003c\/em\u003e laid the groundwork for a new reading, unfamiliar to the existing Marxist discourse in Japan at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKaratani’s \u003cem\u003eMarx\u003c\/em\u003e takes on insights from semiotics, deconstruction, and the reading of Marx as a literary thinker, treating \u003cem\u003eCapital\u003c\/em\u003e as an intervention in philosophy that could be read as itself a theory of signs. \u003cem\u003eMarx\u003c\/em\u003e is unique in this sense, not only because of its importance in post-’68 Japanese thought, but also because the heterodox reading of Marx that Karatani debuts in this text, centred on his theory of the value-form, will go on to form the basis of his globally influential work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000680235244,"sku":"9781788730587","price":49.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/23834913482824.jpg?v=1763296117"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/kojin-karatani.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
