| Zusammenfassung: | This article examines the convergent or divergent ways in which two “Marxist” or “post-Marxist” philosophers, Pierre Macherey and Jacques Rancière, have read Balzac, from A Theory of Literary Production (Macherey, 1966) to The Edges of Fiction (Rancière, 2017). It seeks both to situate these “philosophical” readings in relation to the perspectives of Marx or Georg Lukács, and to identify the features of the Balzacian text that they represent. After foregrounding the conflicts of logics and writing regimes that, in the eyes of our philosophers, produce the Balzacian novel, our article then focuses on the nature of the formal revolution they think the novel illustrates. Finally, a comparative, more global assessment allows us to characterize the readings of Macherey and Rancière, and the way in which they redefine the Balzacian text – how it functions and how it achieves its material, cognitive and political effects. |
