This article was written in August 83, initially as a lecture at Jornada de Filosofia da UNESP (Campus de Marília, September 83). We begin with an approximation between Hegel and Marx and then we discuss the idea of work's force reproduction understood as a part of the capital. The latter is viewed as a kind of social relationship. This approach is attempeted on the basis of certain passages of Marx's The Capital and The Grundrisse as well. Finally, we interpret some nowdays developments under the point of view of this "cynical anatomy".
