spelling I28-R145-6191_oai2025-11-17 Piqueras Infante, Andrés 2019-05-06 The paper tries to show the binding relationship that exists in the mode of capitalist production between merchandise, value and profit, as its basic categories, and politics as an artificially separated sphere of society. This is intended to reveal on the one hand the false appearance of the autonomy of politics in these societies, and on the other the illusory forms of democracy that accompany him, because the demands of value made as capital prevail above any social, political, moral, aesthetic or religious considerations. Since the objective possibilities of gaining surplus value and profitability due to capital overaccumulation are currently stuck, a decline in the democratic realizations –and specially in the options of reformism- in the political sphere are given in correspondence, as the later manifests itself as an expression of the law of value. El artículo trata de mostrar la relación vinculante de las categorías básicas del modo de producción capitalista -la mercancía, el valor y la ganancia-, con la política como esfera artificialmente separada de la sociedad. Con ello se pretende desvelar por un lado la falsa apariencia de autonomía de la política en estas sociedades, y por otro las formas ilusorias de democracia que le acompañan, pues las exigencias del valor hecho capital prevalecen por encima de cualesquiera consideraciones sociales, políticas, morales, estéticas o religiosas. Al estar atascadas en la actualidad las posibilidades objetivas de obtención de la plusvalía y de realización de la ganancia debido a la sobreacumulación de capital, se da en correspondencia un declive de las realizaciones democráticas –y especialmente de las opciones del reformismo- en la esfera política, en cuanto que ésta se manifiesta como expresión de la ley del valor. O artigo procura mostrar a relação vinculante das categorias básicas do modo de produção capitalista-a mercadoria, o valor e o lucro-, com a política como esfera artificialmente separada da sociedade. Isso se destina a revelar, por um lado, a falsa aparência da autonomia da política nessas sociedades, e por outro as formas ilusórias de democracia que o acompanham, porque as demandas do valor feito capital prevalecem acima de quaisquer considerações sociais, políticas, morais, estéticas ou religiosas. Uma vez que as possibilidades objetivas de ganhar valor excedente e rentabilidade devido ao excesso de acumulação de capital estão atualmente presas, um declínio nas realizações democráticas é dado em correspondencia -e, especialmente, as opções do reformismo- na esfera política, assim que se manifesta como uma expressão da lei do valor. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CAS/article/view/6191 10.34096/cas.i49.6191 spa Instituto de Ciencias Antropológicas, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, UBA https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CAS/article/view/6191/5627 Cuadernos de antropología social; Núm. 49 (2019): Repensando temas de Antropología Económica 1850-275X 0327-3776 Merchandise Value Fetishization Reformism Democracy Mercancía Valor Fetichización Reformismo Democracia Mercaderia Valor Fetichização Reformismo Democracia Some considerations about the value and its relationship with democracy and other capitalist fetishes Algunas consideraciones sobre el valor y su relación con la democracia y otros fetiches capitalistas Algumas considerações sobre o valor e sua relação com a democracia e outros fetiches capitalistas info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículos Invitados https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=cantropo&d=6191_oai
