Methods of visualising modernity and capitalism have been central
to classical social science. Those methods of seeing, specifically
in the work of Marx, were attempts to capture visually the
fragmenting edifice of capital in its death throes and were part of
a project to hasten its demise - yet capitalism persisted and
perpetuated itself in new forms, such that its demise now looks
less likely than it did 150 years ago. This book argues for a new
way of understanding Marx and a new way of approaching both
capitalist modernity and Marx's Capital by rethinking the nature of
vision. Through studies of visualisation in relation to machines
and the monstrous, memory, mirrors and optics, and the invisible,
Visualising the Empire of Capital offers a new way of thinking
about what capital is and its future. A new reading of - and
against - Marx, this volume argues for new forms of sensual utopia
while initiating antagonism to the empire of capital itself. As
such, it will appeal to social theorists, social anthropologists
and sociologists with interests in critical theory, visual culture
and aesthetics.
