Marx associacionista (Bryant 2010)

BRYANT, Levi R. 2010. Is Marx a Sociologist of the Social? Larval Subjects July 4th.

“Marx seeks to explain society in the manner of a sociologist of associations rather than appeal to society to explain the world around us. The actants that Marx appeals to in this story are wage-labor, the money form, factories, trade routes, the availability of resources, various technologies, etc. Here class does not serve an explanatory function, but rather is an emergent effect of how wage labor functions. Class is something that comes into being through a variety of different processes.” (Bryant 2010)
