Abstract
Abstract:
This essay experiments with the supposition that Christianity's seven deadly sins can be seen to constellate the affective dynamism at the heart of capitalist forms. Through a close reading of two terms used by Marx to index greed—Habsucht and Heißhunger—the essay tracks their performance as figurations that inhere sedimented histories, active contradictions, and filaments of alternative futurities.
