Karl Marx has rarely, if ever, been treated as a writer. Charles
Barbour argues not only that we can examine the literary and
rhetorical aspects of Marx's texts, but also that, as soon as we
begin to do so, those texts begin to take on new and entirely
unexpected political implications. In the past, Marx scholars have
characterized his literary remains as either a relatively coherent
body of work, or a structure cut in half by a single, all-important
"epistemological break." Neither metaphor really captures the
incredible proliferation of documents that we retroactively label
Karl Marx. Barbour proposes that we characterize them, instead, as
a machine, or an assemblage of fragments and components that can be
put together and taken apart in any number of different ways for
any number of different purposes. Focusing primarily on Marx's
early polemical writings, and especially the debates with Bruno
Bauer and Max Stirner that make up most of the voluminous
manuscript now called "The German Ideology," The Marx Machine
endeavors to show how some of Marx's most consistently denigrated
and ignored works can in fact be approached as responses to Marx's
contemporary critics.
