"Au lieu de chercher le négatif dans la dispersion du significant, ou dans une imbrication on-close des strates narratives, le discours producteur de concept incorpore le négatif au lieu de la formation du concept; c'est dans la mesure ou il exhibe la né gativité-l'hétéro-généité-le produisant à travers du sujet" (Kristeva, "Matière, Sens, dialectique," Tel Quel, 44 [1971]: 22).

15. Although the separation between subject and object is a distinct feature of modernity, traceable to the operations of the Cartesian cogito, what modernity does above all is to introduce representation as the focus of a knowing subject. Like Adorno and Horkheimer, Jameson does not consider capitalism as an ideology permeating the relation between subject and object, or as introducing a new form of consciousness. Capitalist ideology, rather, is inherent in the epistemological presumptions that structures an object in relation to a subject. See Fredric Jameson, A Singular Modernity (London: Verso, 2002), 52-3.
