| Descripción: | ABSTRACT Contemporary globalized capital presents particular difficulties when it comes to mapping its dynamics, such that imagining what might lie beyond it becomes even more challenging than in earlier stages of capitalist development. For instance, one of the tendencies of contemporary capital is to “stall” a certain perceptual-representational faculty on the part of the collective subject that would otherwise encourage the enunciation of a collective identity-for-itself and a utopian imaginary of a formation “beyond capitalism”—one of the ingredients for social transformation.RÉSUMÉ Le capital mondial contemporain soulève des problèmes particuliers quand il s’agit de comprendre sa dynamique, à tel point qu’imaginer ce qui surviendrait au-delà devient encore plus difficile que lors d’étapes antérieures du capitalisme. À ce titre, une des tendances du capital contemporain est d’affaiblir une certaine faculté perceptuelle/représentationnelle de la part du sujet collectif. Cette faculté, si elle demeurait forte, pourrait mener à une identité-pour-soi collective et un imaginaire utopien permettant d’entrevoir un au-delà pour le capitalisme, jetant ainsi les bases d’une transformation sociale. |
