This paper aims to explore modes of reading Marx from the perspective of colonization, with particular interest on the figures of the subaltern and the slave. For this purpose, different texts such as those written by Gayatri C. Spivak, Dipesh Chakrabarty, Sylvia Wynter, Frank B. Wilderson III, Fred Moten and Sara-Maria Sorentino are put into dialogue. The objective is not to reach a synthesis of any kind, but to investigate the tensions brought upon Marx’s theory and methodology by these two figures. Some important concepts for Marxian theory are mobilized, such as the value-form and abstract labor.
