This book sets out to clarify the nature of the aesthetic as a
category within the theory of historical materialism. It opens with
an analysis of Marx's brief discussion of Greek art in the
Grundrisse, moves through a series of readings of specifically
bourgeois texts, including those of Ruskin, G.M. Hopkins, Nietzsche
and Henry James, and then to the terrain of Marxism in the concepts
of history underwriting the work of Fredric Jameson and Jean-Paul
Sartre. Sprinkler detours through the recent works of Perry
Anderson to set the stage for a systematic consideration of the
theoretical itinerary and continuing relevance of the contributions
of Louis Althusser.
Imaginary Relations is a cogently argued attempt to shift the
terrain of Marxist theorizing about art from the domain of ideology
considered as simply false consciousness to a concept of art which
makes aesthetic texts sources of empirical data about the real,
historical world.
