title: What does Marx mean by the “fetishism of commodities”? creator: Dobra, Alexandra subject: JOURNALS subject: Epistemology description: The present paper aims to analyse Marx’s concept of “fetishism of commodities” by explaining the mechanism of a social genesis of determined illusions, arising in the sphere of production and circulation of commodities. It highlights the existence of an auto-sustained autarkic system of 4 variables – reification, objectification, duplicity and habit - sustaining and leading to the fetishism of commodities. publisher: University of Economics Prague date: 2010-10-30 type: Journal (Paginated) type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf identifier: http://cogprints.org/7127/1/dobra10b.pdf identifier: Dobra, Alexandra (2010) What does Marx mean by the “fetishism of commodities”?
