/505/ Reading Club: Classes in Bourgeois Society

from Bungacast · host Bungacast

On Franz Jakubowski's Ideology and Superstructure in Historical Materialism. We focus on a very short section from Jakubowski's 1936 book, and delve into wider questions regarding ideology, social totality, and the middle classes. Is ideology “false, partial consciousness”? Is Jakubowski right that capitalism is the least ideological social form so far? Is it true that the middle classes only come into contact with the commodity when it is in circulation? How is the middle class' social position reflected in its worldview? How has this changed over 100 years?
