摘要

摘要:本文从原始积累的角度对修辞学进行了唯物主义的阐释。利用生命政治理论和马克思主义对资本剥夺实践的讨论，我们展示了——在欧洲-西方传统的区域背景下——政治空间(polis)与经济家庭空间(oikos)的分割是如何作为一种物质话语机器运作的，这种机器将身体与“完整”人性的形象进行分类，使暴力积累合理化，并将一些身体指定为非修辞的，因此不是完全人类的。在转向其在当代资本主义下的重新表述之前，我们将探讨这一机构在古代雅典关于经济和修辞的文本中的功能。我们认为，oikos、polis和修辞的表达表明，暴力支持所谓的“非物质”劳动，以及当代人文主义对政治代理的幻想。

Considering Rhetoric From the Standpoint of Primitive Accumulation

Abstract:This essay develops a materialist account of rhetoric from the perspective of primitive accumulation. Drawing on biopolitical theory and Marxian discussions of capital's dispossessive practices, we demonstrate how—within the regional context of the Euro-Western tradition—the partition of political space (polis) from the space of the economic household (oikos) operates as a material-discursive apparatus that sorts bodies in relation to a figure of "full" humanity, rationalizing violent accumulation and designating some bodies as a-rhetorical and therefore not fully human. We explore the function of this apparatus in ancient Athenian texts on oikonomia and rhetoric before turning to its rearticulation under contemporary capitalism. We argue that the articulation of oikos, polis, and rhetoric demonstrates the violence underwriting so-called "immaterial" labor as well as contemporary humanist fantasies of political agency.

期刊介绍： Cultural Critique provides a forum for international and interdisciplinary explorations of intellectual controversies, trends, and issues in culture, theory, and politics. Emphasizing critique rather than criticism, the journal draws on the diverse and conflictual approaches of Marxism, feminism, psychoanalysis, semiotics, political economy, and hermeneutics to offer readings in society and its transformation.
