commodity fetishism, reification, thingification,verdinglichung Explanation: commodity fetishism: In Marxist theory, commodity fetishism is a state of social relations, said to arise in complex capitalist market systems, in which social relationships center around the values placed on commodities. The term is introduced in the opening chapter of Karl Marx's main work of political economy, Capital, of 1867 . reification, thingification, verdinglichung : The process of regarding something abstract as a material entity, Whitehead's "fallacy of misplaced concreteness," e.g., the mistake of confusing a system, which is a construct, with the physical entity described in its terms (see general systems theory ). In social systems reification is encouraged by the use of language and underlies many processes of constructing social reality. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2007-09-17 18:22:31 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reification_(Marxism) Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodity_fetishism Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relations_of_production |
