Abstract

Nancy Fraser's recent work on the hidden abodes of capitalism has quickly become a critical point of reference for those concerned with the racialized, gendered, and ecological conditions of capitalist reproduction. With that in view, this article seeks to extend Fraser's conceptualization through a sympathetic critique of her approach to capitalism's foreground/background nexus. After situating Fraser's project in relation to Marx (and his own engagement with capitalism's background conditions of possibility), it argues that (1) Fraser fails to adequately theorize how capitalist crisis is produced and resolved in space and (2) that Fraser obscures the relational-dialectical constitution of her own hidden abodes. This article then develops an alternative theoretical approach to capitalism's foreground/background relationship, based on a synthetic reading of Fraser's framework and the work of geographer Jason W. Moore. Finally, it closes with some brief reflections on the implications of this theorization for contemporary socialist politics.

背景调查:南希·弗雷泽扩展的资本主义概念中的空间性和关系性

南希·弗雷泽(Nancy Fraser)最近关于资本主义隐藏居所的作品，迅速成为那些关注资本主义再生产的种族化、性别化和生态条件的人的关键参考点。考虑到这一点，本文试图通过对弗雷泽对资本主义前景/背景关系的方法的同情批评来扩展她的概念化。在将弗雷泽的计划与马克思(以及他自己对资本主义可能性的背景条件的参与)联系起来之后，它认为(1)弗雷泽未能充分理论化资本主义危机是如何在空间中产生和解决的;(2)弗雷泽模糊了她自己隐藏住所的关系-辩证构成。本文在综合阅读弗雷泽的框架和地理学家杰森·w·摩尔(Jason W. Moore)的著作的基础上，发展了另一种理论方法来研究资本主义的前景/背景关系。最后，简要反思了这一理论对当代社会主义政治的启示。

期刊介绍： Environment and Planning A: Economy and Space is a pluralist and heterodox journal of economic research, principally concerned with questions of urban and regional restructuring, globalization, inequality, and uneven development. International in outlook and interdisciplinary in spirit, the journal is positioned at the forefront of theoretical and methodological innovation, welcoming substantive and empirical contributions that probe and problematize significant issues of economic, social, and political concern, especially where these advance new approaches. The horizons of Economy and Space are wide, but themes of recurrent concern for the journal include: global production and consumption networks; urban policy and politics; race, gender, and class; economies of technology, information and knowledge; money, banking, and finance; migration and mobility; resource production and distribution; and land, housing, labor, and commodity markets. To these ends, Economy and Space values a diverse array of theories, methods, and approaches, especially where these engage with research traditions, evolving debates, and new directions in urban and regional studies, in human geography, and in allied fields such as socioeconomics and the various traditions of political economy.
