摘要:In the last few decades, academic studies have highlighted the commodity’s cultural biography (Kopytoff, 1986), its busy social life (Appadurai, 1986), and its aesthetic power (Haug, 1986). This renewed interest in the commodity, however, has not re-engaged with classical political economy’s study of the system of commodity production; instead, it concerns mainly the consumption of commodities. Accordingly, the commodity in such studies tends to figure as a one-sided object, an object of consumption whose mode of production is largely irrelevant.
