The Making of Abstraction. Some Hypotheses on Money, Language, and Modern Literature

The question I have tried to answer is whether there such a thing as linguistic alienation and what its consequences are for Marxist literary studies understanding the so-called "superstructure" in general. Relevant assumptions on this subject were elaborated, above all, sixties seventies by Lefebvre, Rossi-Landi, Baudrillard Latouche, through tabulation of parallelism between Marx's theory value Saussure's sign. In my opinion, all these hypotheses failed understand specificity interpretation money, which very different form semiotics, because (as Finelli Arthur, among others, shown) it owes much Hegelian logic. Therefore, try demonstrate that, putting certain categories semiotics philosophy language interpret critique political economy, money not sign but code: paraphrasing Lacan, could be said that capital configured like language. It not, however, neutral language, praxis capable hiding material situation abstractions. If correct, we do need ask how matter (the structure) acts series semantic ideological chains superstructure), extent itself, considered text, functions formal model (using words: formelle bestimmung) organization domain abstraction extends.
