• W746289311 abstract "The distinction between being and having produces terrible anxieties for critics of consumer culture. For young Karl Marx, it key difference between a real human paradise and a hellish state of alienation, and in The Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844, he indicts capitalist world for preferring possession of commodities to cultivation of human senses. Objects themselves are not problem, and indeed Marx claims that through objectively unfolded richness of man's essential being richness of subjective human sensibility ... either cultivated or brought into being.1 The only way to understand and cultivate we are to work on world, to manifest we are in objects and practices. In a rational world, every individual could test his or her being, and success or failure of that labor reveals truth of each person. For instance, one wants to enjoy art, one must work to become artistically cultivated (105). But such a becoming by no means guaranteed. For instance, if through a living expression of yourself as a loving person you do not make yourself a loved person, then your love impotent-a misfortune (105). Achieving a state of being so valuable because it reveals a hard-fought truth. Capitalism, however, makes a black magic out of money that is general confounding and compounding of all things, or simply the world upside down (105). With enough money, anyone can avoid labor of being for ease of having. With money, what I am and am capable of by no means determined by my individuality. I am ugly, but I can buy for myself most beautiful of women (103). The labor of becoming exchanged for ease of having, but price terrible alienation of a lie.The problem of being and having not unique to just money, but becomes underlying problem of all commodities. In Capital, Marx succinctly defines problem of commodity form, maintaining that the relations connecting labor of one individual with that of rest appear, not as direct social relations between individuals at work, but as they really are, material relations between persons and social relations between things.2 The form through which we exchange objects hides social relationships that produced them, negating being of labor and asserting that value simply inherent in object, something we can buy without ever accounting for people who produced them or our real relationships to them. Every object we have in form of a commodity a negation of those who made it, and we mistake are actually profoundly human modes of being for facile satisfactions of having.Marx's fear well illustrated in fate of music. Since ancient world, to hear music, one had to either find a musician or become one. While paintings or poems could be bought and sold, music remained a practice. Longer than most other arts, it remained difficult to commodify, and though manufacturers of pianos and publishers of sheet music flourished in nineteenth century, one still needed musicians in order to hear music. While one could hang a painting on wall and never have to meet painter or see a brush, to make music still meant immediate, practical activity-either being, or being with, a musician. Once something exists as a thing divorced from social practice of its production, social dimensions, responsibilities, and human potentials become invisible or impossible. So long as music remained a practice, to hear it, one had to engage in profoundly social relationships; one could not simply fetishize an object.Evan Eisenberg recounts how during nineteenth century, daughters of bourgeoisie were often musicians: A stack of difficult scores would fool nobody, since ladies were expected to exhibit their skills after dinner. Some rich men's daughters played so well that their teachers fell in love with them, but that was not rich men had in mind. …" @default.
