Critique of Capitalist Political Economy from the Perspective of Parallax Dialectics
"Parallax"is an important theoretical tool used by Slavoj Žižek in his critique of capitalist economics.This concept was initially proposed by the Japanese scholar Kojin Karatani to analyze the critical thoughts of Kantian philosophy and Marx's critique of political economy.Inspired by this,Žižek introduced the concept of"parallax"and offered a Lacanian interpretation,shifting it from epistemological differences at the level of the subject to ontological differences at the level of the object,thereby constructing a parallax dialectics based on the minimal difference.Against the backdrop of the deepening global capitalist system,Žižek uses parallax dialectics as a tool to critically analyze the contemporary capitalist economic system and its inherent contradictions.He explains the parallax split between the"Real"economy and the actual economy,the de-politicization of the economy versus political primacy,and the split between immaterial labor and material labor.These three types of parallax splits reveal the imperfection of the economy itself,the concealed political dimension behind the de-politicization of the economy,and the internal division of the proletariat's labor in contemporary society.Žižek's use of parallax dialectics to the critique of contemporary capitalist political economy provides a new theoretical perspective for deepening the study of contemporary capitalism and offers a possible path for the contemporary Left to reshape emancipatory politics within the global capitalist system.
