Beschreibung
While there has been renewed interest in Marx recently, we cannot simply apply his more than 170-year-old texts to today's world. Across the disciplinary boundaries of philosophy, sociology, literary and cultural studies, this volume reworks Marxist critique for the twenty-first century. Capitalism, after all, has not only taken on new shapes, but, in the age of climate and care crisis, police violence, mass incarceration and global migration, it has also found new ways of exploiting and fragmenting the global workforce. The book's key contribution is to link the embodied experiences of those fragmented workers - Marx's Black, feminist, trans and queer »others« - with the pressing challenge of creating and mobilizing a political subject under the current iteration of capitalism.
