Recenzje

Punctuating Capital emerges like Athena from the godhead, or Daenerys from the flames, to stand as the premier account today of how language scores and is abbreviated by capital. In this dazzling account of fiction's registration of fictitious capital's exfoliation of responsibility for its persistent exploitation in the capitalist world-system, Punctuating Capital does more than remind readers about the requisite centrality of materialist approaches, like those of Volosinov, Bakhtin, and Lukács, to literary studies. Its acuity joins them at the summit. The readings carefully illuminate how capital's jerks and spasms rip society apart, even as it seeks to obscure this damage full stop. Newly classic.
