Building with Jelly, or, Concrete as the Concretion of the Abstract by Alan Díaz Alva

“…Value-form theory (and the tradition of German *Wertkritik* which Jappe is part of), reads Marx’s theory of value as a theory of the abstract domination of human life and social practice by the abstract forms set in motion by the capitalist mode of production. What I propose is to write a review of Jappe’s book which attempts to read it in conjunction with the question of cosmotechnics. …”
