Karl Marx, in a seemingly offhand comment, recognized human corporeal organization as the first fact of human history. Building on Marx's corporeal turn and exploring the radical implications of his insight, this book aims to reconstruct the corporeal foundations of historical materialism. Part I delves into the corporeal roots of Marx's materialist conception of history and historical-materialist Wissenschaft. Part II explores a historical-materialist mapping of human corporeal organization, suggesting how to approach human histories from their corporeal foundations. Part III delves into historical-materialism as corporeal semiotics. Finally, Part IV presents a case study of Marx's critique of capitalist socio-economic and cultural forms, revealing the corporeal foundations of that critique and the profound depth of his vision of human freedom and dignity.
