Abstract
An extensive engagement with the photography, film and writing by the artist Allan Sekula. The essay explores Uneven and Combined Development as a way of thinking about contemporary capitalism. While we believe U&CD needs to be reconstructed in the context of three debates in recent Marxist thought, we nevertheless suggest it the theory remains the best point of departure for understanding the modern world as integrated and separated under the rule of the value-form. Drawing on Bakhtin's concept of the chronotope, we argue that Sekula engages the issue at the level of form as a way of drawing the largely invisible processes of globalisation into the light. The essay was presented as talks and keynote addresses in London, Rome and Antwerp.
