Es el valor lo que da existencia a los universos

Graeber David, Julieta Gaztañaga

Resumen


El presente texto es la traducción del artículo originalmente aparecido en 2013 en HAU: Journal of Ethnographic Theory. Graeber resume diferentes concepciones y formas de entender el valor en Antropología. Expone cinco formas en las que lo que podría llamarse la teoría del valor de Chicago realiza intervenciones nuevas e importantes en cuestiones de teoría social en general. Las dos primeras formas se derivan directamente del trabajo de Terry Turner y, de hecho, fueron inicialmente desarrolladas para romper con los supuestos convencionales sobre lo que Marx estaba tratando de hacer y, por lo tanto, sobre cómo podría ser una antropología propiamente marxista; aunque está convencido de que estas ideas tienen implicaciones mucho más amplias. La tercera es una síntesis de las ideas de Turner y de Graeber, e implica una nueva forma de concebir la sociedad. Las dos últimas, del propio Graeber, proponen algunas formas nuevas —y, espero, fructíferas—de pensar sobre la cosmología, la “ontología” y la imaginación.
