Commodity and subject, value and law: remarks to read Pashukanis

Abstract

This paper aims to read Pashukanis’ work while emphasizing the connections between law-form and value-form. After that, we seek to understand the apparent forms of value (specially the exchange value) in an analogous position with the apparent forms of law (namely, the jurisprudential and the legislative moments). In order to do that, we approach the book General Theory of Law and Marxism as our main source. As a result, it is possible to challenge the interpretations that understand Pashukanis in a purely economical and exchange-centered way, since law and value are both central forms in order to reproduce the capitalist social order in its totality.
