Description: On the Nature of Marx's Things traces to Marx's earliest writings a Lucretian practice that Lezra calls necrophilological translation.
Brief description:
Jacques Lezra is Professor in the Department of Hispanic Studies at the University of California, Riverside.

(2016).
Review Quotes: Lezra's project is really to enrich our reception of Marx as a comprehensively cultural thinker, disrespecting the disciplinary boundary-lines of his time and ours.-- "Marx & Philosophy Review of Books"
