Revolution and detotalization: An approach to John Holloway's Crack Capitalism

This article proposes a reading of Crack Capitalism which evolves around two categories that are conceptually transformed by the book's author, namely: everyday life and revolutionary subject. The conceptual axis of this transformation is detotalization. As a result, the concepts of revolution and revolutionary subject, linked to that of the production of a new totality in the classic conception, are substituted by the notion of a process which goes against-and-beyond totality: that is, of a struggle for the detotalization of social relations.
