Marx e a literatura: um estudo à luz do capital

Abstract

The article focuses upon the relationship between Marx and the literature with reference to his magnum opus: The Capital-Critique of Political Economy. Here, it is attempted to assess the relations hip between the studies of the material conditions in Marxist theory and the use of an artistic imagination that enriches and particularized these studies. This connectivity is established based on the assessment of his use of literary quotations as a strategic tool for defining theoretical constructs critical to achieving the key work of the German thinker. This understanding suggests that in Karl Marx, Science and Literature do not constitute an antithetical pair.
