what is animal reproduction and rationalisation of the books
Answers
For Critical Theorists, reification meant ‘thingification’, but it had other
connotations too deriving from the work of Georg Lukacs, who had melded
ideas from both Marx and Weber. The main context for the idea of reification
was to be found in Marx’s account of commodity fetishism in Volume 1 of
Capital (1961). Marx made a distinction between goods or commodities that
are produced for their ‘use-value’ as against those being produced for their
‘exchange value’. ‘Use value’ refers to the way we directly experience the value
of a good as something useful to us. Under capitalism ‘use-value’ has been
largely undermined by the production of goods for their ‘exchange-value’.
Superficially the ‘exchange value’ of a good is its price in the market place, but
this price is determined by the nature of capitalist economic relations, more
specifically something Marx explains via his ‘labour theory of value’. The detail
of this matters less than the fact that concealed behind the cost of exchanging goods are relations of economic exploitation: class relations. Goods appear
to have a price that naturally adheres to them, when in fact it is the outcome
of wider economic processes. Indeed, so well concealed are these wider
processes, and so natural does the price of a commodity seem that we even
come to value the commodity because it is so priced. Marx points out that in
spite of being humanly produced, commodities ‘assume the fantastic form of
a relation between things’. What he means is that the quality a commodity has
appears to us as something intrinsic to it, almost like an objective property
rather than the outcome of human activity. He likens this fetishisation of commodities to religious belief
