Abstract

The author returns to the theme of the entanglement of the production of theoretical discourse and of institutional relations and relations of power and domination, as well as to the theme of the conditions of enunciation of a knowledge that is both true and politically engaged (i.e., of a critical knowledge), a topic that he has been dealing with at least since his main work, The nonconformist intellectual (1999). He approachs the problem of the possibility of a theory at once consciously and explicitly partial and raising universality claims from the analysis of the case of Marx’s classical critical formulation. [Translator’s abstract].
