Summary
"In Misrecognitions, Ben Parker mounts a defense of novelistic recognition scenes based on Karl Marx's account of commodity fetishism and reification. The novel as a form, Parker argues, is structured by these misrecognitions that are constitutive of subjectivity in capitalism"-- Provided by publisher.
