Resumen de Die sinnlichen Enden der Ideologie: Politische Affektenlehre in Büchners Danton’s Tod
This essay inquires into the historical background, the analytical function, and the political implications of Georg Büchner’s materialism. Büchner’s revolutionary drama Danton ’ s Tod (1835) is situated at an interface between the French sensualist school of the idéologues and a modern concept of ideology in Marx. In Büchner’s drama, the senso-materialist concept of idea and sensation is related to the constitution of political bodies, which reveals an intimate nexus of imagination and sensation, ideology and affect.
