Description
History and Obstinacy A groundbreaking exploration of the human subject as labor power, supplementing classical political economy with insights from psychoanalysis, phenomenology, evolutionary anthropology, and systems theory. Alexander Kluge and Oskar Negt excavate the complex ecology of expropriation and resistance, delving into the deepest strata of unconscious thought, genetic memory, and cellular life. First published in 1981, this influential collaboration has been revised and updated to address global developments over the last decade, offering a fresh analysis of "the capitalism within us". This book presents an astonishing assembly of ideas, arguments, and imaginations, shedding new light on the intricate relationships between human subjectivity and capitalist systems. With its unique blend of philosophical inquiry and interdisciplinary research, History and Obstinacy is a thought-provoking work that challenges readers to reconsider their understanding of labor power and its place within modern society.
