HOW CAN A SUBJECT BE REIFIED? THE ROLE OF "THINGLIKENESS" IN GEORG LUKÁCS'S ACCOUNT OF SUBJECTIVITY IN CAPITALISM.

This paper examines Georg Lukács's conception of reified subjectivity under capitalism. I claim that Lukács's transition from his ethical pre-Marxist notion of the reified subject, to his early-Marxist understanding of capitalist reification of the subject contains the elements of a potential Lukács...

        This paper examines Georg Lukács's conception of reified subjectivity under capitalism. I claim that Lukács's transition from his ethical pre-Marxist notion of the reified subject, to his early-Marxist understanding of capitalist reification of the subject contains the elements of a potential Lukácsian anti-critique of any epistemic or normative reinterpretation of his theory of reification. In particular, the shift in Lukács's conceptualization of the thinglikeness of objects implied in his dialectical social theory points to a historically precise interpretation of the subject's reification. The paper also suggests that Lukács's project of dereification is rooted in the affective experience of reified subjects.
        Cet article examine la conception lukacsienne de la subjectivité réi- fiée en régime capitaliste. Mon propos est de montrer que le passage de la notion éthique pré-marxiste du sujet réifié à une compréhension marxiste précoce de la réification capitaliste du sujet chez Lukács contient des éléments d'une critique lukacsienne potentielle de toute réinterprétation normative de sa théorie de la réi- fication. Le tournant dans la conceptualisation lukacsienne de l'apparente « choiséité » (Dinghaftigkeit) des objets, implicite dans la dialectique de sa théorie sociale, fait signe vers une interprétation historiquement précise de la réification du sujet. L'article suggère également que le projet lukacsien de la dé-réification est enraciné dans l'expérience affective des sujets réifiés.
