The article uses the ideal of a New Left to conceptualize the underlying unity of diverse political experiences during the past half century. Although Marx is not the direct object of this reconstruction, his specter is a recurring presence at those “nodal points” where the imperative to move to “another element” becomes apparent. These are moments when the spirit that has animated a movement can advance no further; it is faced with new obstacles, which may be self-created. The article analyzes from a participant’s perspective the development of the New Left in the U.S., France and West Germany as it tried to articulate what is dubbed the "unknown dimension" of Marx’s theoretical project.
***Novos encontros da esquerda com Marx***
O artigo parte do ideal de uma Nova Esquerda para conceituar a unidade subjacente a diversas experiências políticas durante o último meio século. Embora Marx não seja o objeto direto dessa reconstrução, seu espectro é uma presença recorrente naqueles "pontos nodais", onde o imperativo de se mudar para "outro elemento" torna-se aparente. Estes são os momentos em que o espírito que animou um movimento não pode avançar mais, sendo confrontado com novos obstáculos, que podem ser auto-criados. O artigo analisa, do ponto de vista de um participante, o desenvolvimento da Nova Esquerda nos EUA, França e Alemanha Ocidental, enquanto tentava articular o que é denominado de "dimensão desconhecida" do projeto teórico de Marx.
