Revolutionizing Time: Bloch's Challenge to Marx in Spirit of Utopia [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Ernst Bloch's Spirit of Utopia contains the beginnings of a fundamental reimagining of and challenge to Marx's thought. In Bloch's reading of Capital, the commodity fetish becomes the embodiment of an oppressive capitalist time that presupposes an incomplete primitive accumulation, that is, the survival of potentially disruptive precapitalist elements. Spirit of Utopia suggests that redeployments of such elements could serve to fatally disrupt capital's time, and so it appropriates and transforms the conception of revolution as an act of historical memory that Marx critiques in The 18th Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte.
