Abstract
Abstract:This article examines how the French avant-garde journal Tel Quel and its dual critique of language and capitalism—or "semantic materialism"—might be of relevance for literary studies today. By revisiting Tel Quel's intellectual development leading up to May 1968, the article argues that the review's shifting aesthetic and theoretical alliances during these years represent the building blocks of its materialism. It further defines this political semiotic by examining and extending claims from Tel Quel associates Jean-Joseph Goux and Pierre Guyotat. Finally, the article considers how semantic materialism relates to more contemporary Marxist approaches to literary reading.
期刊介绍：
Cultural Critique provides a forum for international and interdisciplinary explorations of intellectual controversies, trends, and issues in culture, theory, and politics. Emphasizing critique rather than criticism, the journal draws on the diverse and conflictual approaches of Marxism, feminism, psychoanalysis, semiotics, political economy, and hermeneutics to offer readings in society and its transformation.
