{"product_id":"the-concept-in-crisis-nick-nesbitt-9780822369622","title":"The Concept in Crisis: Reading Capital Today","description":"The publication of \u003ci\u003eReading Capital\u003c\/i\u003e-by Louis Althusser, Étienne Balibar, Roger Establet, Pierre Macherey, and Jacques Rancière-in 1965 marked a key intervention in Marxist philosophy and critical theory, bringing forth a stunning array of concepts that continue to inspire philosophical reflection of the highest magnitude. \u003ci\u003eThe Concept in Crisis\u003c\/i\u003e reconsiders the volume's reading of Marx and renews its call for a critique of capitalism and culture for the twenty-first century. The contributors-who include Alain Badiou, Étienne Balibar, and Fernanda Navarro-interrogate Althusser's contributions in particular within the context of what is surely the most famous collective reading of Marx ever undertaken. Among other topics, they offer a symptomatic critique of Althusser; consider his writing as a materialist production of knowledge; analyze the volume's conceptualization of value and crisis; examine how leftist Latin American leaders like Che Guevara and Subcomandante Marcos engaged with Althusser and \u003ci\u003eReading Capital\u003c\/i\u003e; and draw out the volume's implications and use for feminist theory and praxis. Retrieving the inspiration that drove Althusser's reinterpretation of Marx, \u003ci\u003eThe Concept in Crisis\u003c\/i\u003e explains why \u003ci\u003eReading Capital\u003c\/i\u003e's revolutionary inflection retains its critical appeal, prompting readers to reconsider Marx's relevance in an era of neoliberal capitalism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eContributors.
