O Espaço Político Segundo Marx, Adriano Codato Jan 2011

O Espaço Político Segundo Marx, Adriano Codato

Adriano Codato

This articles estates that Marx s historical works allows us to uphold that the political dimension is neither a field (of social struggles for strategic positions) nor a system (of functionally integrated institutions) and not even a juridical-political structure (apprehensible through its class effects in the social world). The political dimension of society may be conceived, by classical Marxism, as a form whose properties are similar to that of the commodity form. Consequently, practical politics can neither be apprehended nor analyzed as a social appearance, which makes the expression political scene very unsuitable to describe the way Marx understands the …


Marx E Seu Legado Para A Teoria Contemporânea Do Estado Capitalista, Renato Perissinotto, Adriano Codato Jan 2010

Marx E Seu Legado Para A Teoria Contemporânea Do Estado Capitalista, Renato Perissinotto, Adriano Codato

Adriano Codato

The purpose of this essay is to identify some ideas outlined by Marx in his 18th Brumaire of Louis Bonparte that became fundamental for the development and establisment of the marxist theory of the State between the years 1960-1980. Although the importance of this work for the improvement of marxist theory of the state has been largely recognized by many authors, there are no, if we are not mistaken, studies dedicated to sistematically identifying the thematical links between Marx's analysis and the the works of social scientists and economists published during the second decade of the last century whose intention …


Ler Marx, Hoje: Um Programa De Pesquisa E De Interpretação, Adriano Codato, Renato Perissinotto Jan 2010

Ler Marx, Hoje: Um Programa De Pesquisa E De Interpretação, Adriano Codato, Renato Perissinotto

Adriano Codato

This study presents a project of reading and interpretation of Marx s texts about the French politics. The greater purpose that inspires this project is the desire to make Marx s thoughts a normal social science in two very precise ways: as a type of scientific knowledge, rather than a normative theory and/or social view of the world; and as an interpretative genre, which consists on connecting the actions and political institutions to their social dimension. This posture necessarily implies a comprehension different from the works of Marx that are more interested in his analytical operations than in the monumental …


O 18 Brumário, Política E Pós-Modernismo, Adriano Codato Apr 2005

O 18 Brumário, Política E Pós-Modernismo, Adriano Codato

Adriano Codato

Most contemporary interpretations of Karl Marx's analyses of European politics of the second half of the nineteenth century share both the suppression of all references to the "economy" and its substitution either for the idea of the autonomy of the political (in heterodox views), or for the idea of the performative aspect of language (in post-modern views). This article argues that Marx's Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonapart contains an interpretation of politics that can be reduced, from the theoretical point of view, to two explanatory principles of the materialist conception of history: the primacy of economics, and the opposition between …


O Estado Como Instituição: Uma Leitura Das Obras Históricas De Marx, Adriano Codato, Renato Perissinotto Jan 2001

O Estado Como Instituição: Uma Leitura Das Obras Históricas De Marx, Adriano Codato, Renato Perissinotto

Adriano Codato

The aim of this paper is to present a reading of the Marxist theory of the state more complex and ambitious than that made by recent neo-institutionalists criticism. Upon reconsideration of the "historical works" of Marx demonstrated that this author has a conception of state which takes into account their internal institutional dynamics without compromising, however, the view of class.
