The Dialectics of Late Capital and Power: James, Balzac and Critical Theory

Publication at Faculty of Arts |
2007

Abstract

This tome conceptualizes the vanguard concepts of 'un-power' and of 'un-money' and illumines the relational configurations and dialectical connectedness between various types of capital and power (including, but not limited to, the complicity of the cultural form of the novel with social mechanisms of power) by engaging with selected narratives by Henry James and his grand literary model, Honoré de Balzac.
