Resumo: The article starts with a discussion of the Marxian concept of capital and progressively expands the scope of the problems raised by it. What is at issue is the very notion of a political economy of value. With this in view, post-structuralist, anthropological, psychoanalytic and feminist debates are addressed in order to discuss the nature of language as well as of the latter's translation into what appears as its outside. Opposing the nature/culture divide and other corresponding binaries – within which one of the terms often appears as static, lacking, dumb or passive –, the article concludes by proposing an enlarged view of what constitutes social relations, in which Life figures as a system of self-reference wherein the presumed difference between what is material and what is ideological can no longer be sustained.

O que está em questão é a noção mesma de uma economia política do valor. Com isso em vista, debates pós-estruturalistas, antropológicos, psicanalíticos e feministas são mobilizados para discutir o problema da natureza da linguagem, assim como da tradução entre esta última e aquilo que aparece como seu exterior. Contrapondo-se à divisão natureza/cultura e outros binarismos correspondentes – no interior dos quais um dos termos frequentemente aparece como estático, em falta, mudo ou passivo –, o artigo conclui com a proposta de uma visão alargada do que constitui as relações sociais, na qual a Vida figura como um sistema de autorreferência em que a diferença presumida entre o que é material e o que é ideológico não pode mais ser sustentada.Universidade Estadual Paulista / UNESP2018-01-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/perspectivas/article/view/10982Perspectivas: Revista de Ciências Sociais; v. 49 (2017)1984-02410101-3459reponame:Perspectivasinstname:Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)instacron:UNESPporhttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/perspectivas/article/view/10982/7117Copyright (c) 2018 Perspectivas: Revista de Ciências Sociaisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessKirby, Vicki2018-02-15T14:01:32Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/10982Revistahttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/perspectivasPUBhttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/perspectivas/oai||lahuerta@fclar.unesp.br1984-02410101-3459opendoar:2018-02-15T14:01:32Perspectivas - Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)false
