Quotes by Pierre Macherey  (?)

“To deprive the bourgeoisie not of its art but of its concept of art, this is the precondition of a revolutionary argument.”
Pierre Macherey, A Theory of Literary Production

“The (paradoxical?) correlative of Hegelian ideology is a realist reading of scientific texts: by way of the concept, the content shows through. We read as if words were holes in the page through which reality surfaces; or again, skylights through which the real process can be studied in a kind of speculative voyeurism.”
Pierre Macherey, Reading Capital: The Complete Edition
