| description | <p>Rosa Luxemburg is not only an economic author. In texts written in<br />dramatic days of 1905 revolution she presented a path-breaking account of construction<br />of political subjectivities, and thus revolutionary subject, in the very process<br />of revolutionary struggles. The political dimension of her interventions shed a<br />new light on her overall theoretical oeuvre. There is a constant tension between a<br />determination of revolutionary process by economy and a political construction of<br />revolutionary subject out of plurality of social demands. This article is an attempt<br />to “symptomally read” of her texts, as evidence – I argue – of her theoretical struggle<br />with the political – a radical contingency of the political dimension, which<br />emerged in the given historical circumstances. Therefore, her works from 1905<br />period could be read as a very early attempt to comprehend the problem, which<br />we are still dealing now in thinking revolutionary and emancipatory politics. However,<br />a “closure”in the certain intellectual horizon prevented Luxemburg from drawing<br />ultimate consequences of this condition. Nevertheless, the political is still an “invisible cause” generating tension and peculiar theoretical oscillation in Luxemburg’s</p><p>thinking.</p> |
