Writing not under the shadow but in the spirit of Adorno’s negative dialectic, her work pursues speculation through its contested terrains of philosophy, finance, and art, to arrive at the most detailed analysis that we now possess of the role of speculation in the shaping of subjectivity by value relations. Featuring detailed critical discussions of recent tendencies in the artistic representation of labour, and a brilliant reconstruction of the philosophical concept of the speculative from its origins in German Romanticism, Speculation as a Mode of Production is an essential, widescreen theorisation of capital’s drive to self-expansion, and an urgent corrective to the narrow and one-sided periodisations to which it is most commonly subjected.Historical Materialism Book Series176.ArtEconomic aspectsCapital productivityArtEconomic aspects.Capital productivity.706.8Vishmidt Marina1706668MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910807012303321Speculation as a mode of production4094274UNINA
