The publication of Reading Capital-by Louis Althusser, Etienne
Balibar, Roger Establet, Pierre Macherey, and Jacques Ranciere-in
1965 marked a key intervention in Marxist philosophy and critical
theory, bringing forth a stunning array of concepts that continue
to inspire philosophical reflection of the highest magnitude. The
Concept in Crisis reconsiders the volume's reading of Marx and
renews its call for a critique of capitalism and culture for the
twenty-first century. The contributors-who include Alain Badiou,
Etienne Balibar, and Fernanda Navarro-interrogate Althusser's
contributions in particular within the context of what is surely
the most famous collective reading of Marx ever undertaken. Among
other topics, they offer a symptomatic critique of Althusser;
consider his writing as a materialist production of knowledge;
analyze the volume's conceptualization of value and crisis; examine
how leftist Latin American leaders like Che Guevara and
Subcomandante Marcos engaged with Althusser and Reading Capital;
and draw out the volume's implications and use for feminist theory
and praxis. Retrieving the inspiration that drove Althusser's
reinterpretation of Marx, The Concept in Crisis explains why
Reading Capital's revolutionary inflection retains its critical
appeal, prompting readers to reconsider Marx's relevance in an era
of neoliberal capitalism. Contributors. Emily Apter, Alain Badiou,
Etienne Balibar, Bruno Bosteels, Adrian Johnston, Warren Montag,
Fernanda Navarro, Nick Nesbitt, Knox Peden, Nina Power, Robert J.
