A linguagem das mercadorias em Marx

Abstract

This work about the language of goods in Marx is a research that seeks to understand the extent to which the language we speak between us is the language that our objects talk to each other. So, we followed Marx’s ideas when, in his book The Capital, it is considered that wealth in societies in which the capitalist production prevails, configures itself as a huge accumulation of commodities. To get the language of the goods we take as a starting point the nature and form of value and we realized that in Marx social relations between works are established in the market as material relations between people and social relations between things that dialogue by the magnitude of the present value in each of them. Thus, after deepening the role of the dual nature of the work, concrete and abstract we realize that, once in the market, the commodity turns into something both tangible and intangible making this way appear the ability of mysterious creature to put in her service the same creator that produced it. The study points to the consequences of that, the more complex becomes the social division of labor, the greater is the variety of goods produced and the extent of domination of the messages they carry to everywhere. They open to new markets and influence local cultures or, during the crises of overproduction they destroy their own goods and means that produced them. As a result, although men are present at all times and exchanges are carried out in the world they live in with their own laws and moral norms. That is the law of value as the force that rules regulating trade causing them to be forced to speak the language of objects with which they relate.
