culture
[Working class culture] has an important function in the overall reproduction of the social totality and especially in relation to reproducing the social conditions for a certain kind of production.
Willis
But if the reification of capital is dissolved into an unbroken process of its production and reproduction, it is possible for the proletariat to discover that it is itself the subject of this process even though it is in chains and is for the time being unconscious of the fact.
Lukacs
I discuss structural intersectionality, the ways in which the location of women of color at the intersection of race and gender makes our actual experience of domestic violence, rape, and remedial reform qualitatively different than that of white women.
Crenshaw
It is a peculiar sensation, this double-consciousness, this sense of always looking at one's soul through the eyes of others, of measuring one's soul by the tape of a world that looks on in amused contempt and pity.
DuBois
That is to say, the problem of commodities must not be considered in isolation or even regarded as the central problem in economics, but as the central, structural problem of capitalist society in all its aspects.
Lukacs
All aspects of culture possess a semiotic value, and the most taken-for-granted phenomena can function as signs: as elements in communication systems governed by semantic rules and codes which are not themselves directly apprehended in experience.
Hebdige
This policy, making it impossible for women to have money of their own, created the material conditions for their subjection to men and the appropriation of their labor by male workers.
Federici
The abolition of housework as the private responsibility of individual women is clearly a strategic goal of women's liberation. But the socialization of housework-including meal prepraration and child care-presupposes an end to the profit-motive's reign over the economy.
Davis
When one distinguishes between intellectuals and non-intellectuals, one is referring in reality only to the intellectuals, that is, one has in mind the direction in which specific professional activity is weighted, whether towards intellectual elaboration or towards muscular-nervous effort.
Gramsci
But in the contemporary period, the technological controls appear to be the very embodiment of Reason for the benefit of all social groups and interests-to such an extent that all contradiction seems irrational and counteraction impossible.
Marcuse
African economies are integrated into the very structure of the developed capitalist economies; and they are integrated in a manner that is unfavorable to Africa and ensures that Africa is dependent on the big capitalist countries.
Rodney
What emerges then is the need for combined action on the individual and on the group. As a psychoanalyst, I should help my patient to become conscious of his unconscious and abandon his attempts at a hallucinatory whitening, but also to act in the direction of a change in the social structure.
Fanon
However, theses about the art of the proletariat after its assumption of power or about the art of a classless society would have less bearing on these demands than theses about the developmental tendencies of art under present conditions of production. Their dialectic is not less noticeable in the superstructure than in the economy. It would therefore be wrong to underestimate the value of such theses as a weapon.
Benjamin
Cultural identity, in this second sense, is a matter of 'becoming' as well as of 'being'. It belongs to the future as much as to the past. It is not something which already exists, transcending place, time, history and culture. Cultural identities come from somewhere, have histories. But, like everything which is historical, they undergo constant transformation.
Hall
Since capitalist production can develop fully only with complete access to all territories and climes, it can no more confine itself to the natural resources and productive forces of the temperate zone than it can manage with white labour alone. Capital needs other races to exploit territories where the white man cannot work.
Luxemburg
It could be used as a machine to carry out experiments, to alter behavior, to train or correct individuals... To teach different techniques simultaneously to the workers, to decide which is the best.
Foucault
The principle of division into logical classes which organizes the perception of the social world is itself the product of internalization of the division into social classes.
Bourdieu
The emergence of nationalism was again neither accidental nor unrelated to the character that European capitalism had assumed historically. Again, the bourgeoisie of particular cultures and political structures refused to acknowledge their logical and systemic identity as a class. Instead, international capitalism persisted in competitive anarchy-each national bourgeoisie opposing the others as "natural" enemies.
Robinson
Any social formation or territory that is brought or inserts itself into the logic of capitalist development must undergo wide-ranging structural, institutional, and legal changes of the sort that Marx describes under the rubric of primitive accumulation.
