Karl Marx on Representation - Dictionary of Arguments

Brocker I 716
Representation/Political Representation/Marx: in reference to Marx' The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte (1852), Spivak distinguishes between two forms of representation: According to Marx, the French parcel farmers do not represent a coherent class, which is why a political representative or authorized representative of the middle class represents the lack of class consciousness in their name. For Marx, representation has a double meaning here: "to present" (representation in the sense of portrait) and "to represent" (representation by a politically authorized representative(1), cf. (2).
