Joseph Dietzgen came up in our discussion of Engels' review of Marx & Feuerbach as an example of someone who came to similar conclusions independently of Marx. Here's the marxists.org page for him:

1. The Machine Breakers by Eric Hobsbawm
If I remember correctly it deals with a rebellion in England by a pseudo-ludditic group. The peasants would destroy industrial machinery in a desperate attempt to protect their lievelyhood.

2. Teaching Historical Theory through Video Games by Martin Wainwright.
This essay explains how, wittingly or unwittingly, historical theory and bias is expressed through historical videogame. My favourite part is where he rips appart the Civilization games that basically present a very chauvinistic, essentialist and postmodern conception of history.

Carver & Blank on the so-called "German Ideology" manuscripts. The 'Political History' volume is useful in establishing the state of the text (though i have some of quibbles). It also points interestingly to the importance of the critique of Stirner for M&E at the time. The 'Presentation & Analysis of the Feuerbach Chapter' volume is excellent if only provisional. While largely academic, the establishment of a text is always an immensely forceful and political action. These two books are (imo) the necessary starting point in dealing with the so-called 'German Ideology'

>Zizek to get into Lacan
Zizek's "intros to Lacan" are really showcases of his own use of Lacan, and even then it's mostly examples from popular culture and not that much theory. How to Read Lacan is entertaining but I didn't get much from it.

Fink's clinical introduction is good as it provides the concrete material to which Lacan's theories apply. I would then move on to Fink's Lacanian Subject which is the theoretical counterpart.
Ginjeet said we should also read Fink's Fundamentals of Psychoanalytic Technique, but that one seems to me just like an expanded and even less theoretical version of the first section of his clinical introduction: just a practical intro to techniques for analysts. IMO clinical introduction should be enough for that purpose.
We could then tackle Lacan himself, his Four Fundamental Concepts of Psychoanalysis which was intended as a sort of intro or an overview.

It would make more sense to read Zizek only after already having some understanding of Lacan.

>his own use of Lacan
I know a lot of people say this whenever Zizek is brought up in Hegel discussions and I really doubt the extent to which it’s true tbh. I’ve never read Hegel cover to cover, but I’ve read more than the average poster here probably, and compared to Zizek it’s like I’m almost reading the same person. That’s the same way I feel about the Freud reading that we’re doing now.

>>5278
I'm not saying Zizek distorts Lacan, just that you can't get a good understanding of Lacan by reading his intros. Their purpose is more in convincing you that taking Lacan seriously is worthwhile at all, through the typical Zizek's application of Lacan to ideology.
But for a more comprehensive understanding of what Lacan is all about on his own terms, and how all the pieces fit together, Fink and Jacques-Alain Miller are a better starting point. Only after that you can gain a sense that Zizek really is a good Lacanian, just like your experience with Hegel.

Update on reading schedule.

We are going to read Marcuse's One Dimensional Man next, the introductions to be done for Saturday.
After that we will draw lots (or some other method) and each of us involved will suggest a reading.
We'll finish that round of reading with Marta Harnecker as a palette cleanser.
Then it will be up to the group to decide which direction to proceed.
The idea is to open up the group so it's more accessible to join (less structured so easier for people to miss sessions) and more inviting to plan. We'll be avoiding the core texts because there are reading groups for those already.

Here is an updated list of floated readings (non-exhausive) >>5214

White, Richard. 1995. « The Organic Machine: The Remaking of the Columbia River ». Hill & Wang Critical Issues. Hill & Wang [Farrar, Straus, & Giroux].
A short and popular history of Columbia River hydrology from the author of the major book « The Middle Ground ». OM shifts the coordinates of the problem of natural and technological relations away from the eye and observation to the hand and labor.
Occasionally, the prose can be poor and purple, but that is par for the course for historians. White is vigilant of the dangers of primitivism, and only rarely slips into it. He is one of those rare historians that kinda just DOES ""historical materialism"" comprehensively and expansively without making a big deal about it. For a such a short book, meant for a broad audience, he covers a great deal.
can only find an epub. a pdf would be appreciated if anyone has one

MEGA² II/4.1 translation (i guess) Anonymous 2021-05-19 (Wed) 11:58:23 No.5734

Musto and the kindly benefactors at Springer/Palgrave Macmillan have been so beneficent and gracious and generous to turn their heads lay their eyes upon us, which, in the darkness of miserable and debased natures, is a blessing which we verily are not worthy, for deeply have we sinned. In their unbounded magnanimity they have to soiled themselves in righteously condescending to release to the unwashed a whole 496 words, translated for the first time ever into English, of MEGA². For the just and perfect price $85 one receives the finest print on demand """hardcover""" in which one not only obtains the the 2 paragraphs + 1 sentence that those 469 words constitute, but, in a generous addition, they have graced us with 13 other morsels previously published and extremely easily accessed morsels. To each of these great portions is appended introductions of about three whole sentences by the sage Musto. Each is so amazingly conceptually sharp and marxologically informed that there is no point investigating further! Page numbers, especially for the MEGA² translation, are a an absolutely degenerate luxury which would only further morally corrupt us. If we want to look into the context of any of these selections, far better to do the godfearing labor of combing through each page of many books. For his part, the sage Musto, in his agéd wisdom tells us that Marx uses two word for "alienation". (Truely a buffoon am I for thinking he used three). Again, inserting into the text which word "Alienation" is translating in the selections would be an unmanly and impious decadence. The sage Musto tells us (and he indeed he must be correct for it cannot be otherwise) that alienation and commodity fetishism are actually in truth the same, a perfect identity! It is absurd to think that the former was largely abandoned for the latter! De Brosses and Hegel are actually the same thing. Marx simply substitutes "fetishism" for "alienation" as he fancies and they perform the exact same functions in the exact same ways, with absolutely no change in the concept's consistency, constitution, or effects (they are after all one concept so how could it be otherwise?)

TLDR: shitty Musto book where he propagates the pervasive and misleading idea that alienation was an important concept to Marx in his maturity (and not almost entirely displaced by the different concept of fetishism). Various selections of works from across Marx's life are presented, including a new translation of a MEGA² document (the reason i'm posting this). The variations of words that alienation translate are left invisible. The MEGA² translation has neither page numbers nor the word alienation (I would check the German but i dont have the page numbers!). Fetishism > Alienation

Have a MEGA!

(as usual with de Gruyter retail ebooks, the bookmarks are lacking/occasionally fucked up and pages, especially titles, are missing, b/c who need formatting when a book costs $200-500 [this is much less of a problem in the ANE/classics/biblical books they publish])

20 cents a word. Not bad.
>that alienation and commodity fetishism are actually in truth the same, a perfect identity!
Some people shouldn't be allowed near translations.
>TLDR:
This is much more profound than it might seem at first. I hadn't heard of Marx abandoning alienation in favor of fetishism. Fetishism, IMO, is a much much more powerful concept, much more so than the highly problematic concept of "alienation". In Hegelian and Lacanian terms, perhaps alienation makes sense, but the way Marx uses the terms seems to problematically conflate the physical process of alienation with the psychological effect of such alienation. I haven't read enough to determine exactly if he does this, and if he does, how. From what I read on wikip*dia, it looks like Marx is developing a proto-psychoanalytic framework, with his Gattungswesen or species-being.

At least that's what it looks like from afar. I'd love to read Lukács account on this.
>The concept [of reification] is related to, but distinct from, Marx's theories of alienation and commodity fetishism.[1] Alienation is the general condition of human estrangement; reification is a specific form of alienation; commodity fetishism is a specific form of reification.
