Across a series of historically and philosophically contextualized readings, the volume's contributors interrogate Macherey's work on a range of pressing issues, including the development of a theory of reading and criticism, the relationship between the spoken and the unspoken, the labor of poetic determination and of literature's resistance to ideological context, the literary relevance of a Spinozist materialism, the process of racial subjectification and the ontology of Blackness, and a theorization of the textual surface. \u003ci\u003ePierre Macherey and the Case of Literary Production\u003c\/i\u003e also includes three new texts by Macherey, presented here in English for the first time: his postface to the revised French edition of \u003ci\u003eA Theory of Literary Production\u003c\/i\u003e; \"Reading Althusser,\" in which Macherey analyzes the concept of\u003ci\u003e symptomatic reading\u003c\/i\u003e; and a comprehensive interview in which Macherey reflects on the historical conditions of his early work, the long arc of his career at the intersection of philosophy and literature, and the ongoing importance of Louis Althusser's thought. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Recent translations of Macherey's work into English have introduced new readers to the critic's enduring power and originality.
