| Summary: | The Neue Marx-Lektüre (“new reading of Marx”) is a – heterogeneous – tendency within the West German reception of Marx’s critique of political economy, which developed from the 1960s and 1970s on as an alternative to Marxism-Leninism. The main focus of the Neue Marx-Lektüre was (and still is) the reconstruction of Marx’s critique of political economy as a critical theory centered around a specific theory of social forms, value-form theory, theory of fetishism and mystification. However, a minor tendency within the Neue Marx-Lektüre went beyond these topics by asking for the consequences this new reading could have for a Marxist theory of revolution and emancipation. The present article will take this minor tendency within the new reading into account by concentrating on various theoretical approaches formulated mainly by a younger generation of GermanMarx-researchers. The aim of the article is to provide the non-German speaking audience with an overview about these theoretical developments that took place in the 2000s and 2010s, in order to provide material for an international dialogue onMarx and Marxism that would cross national/continental and linguistic barriers. |
