摘要
Prospero's renunciation of his book in The Tempest acknowledges its power as a kind of fetish'. This essay traces the idea of the book as commodity fetish' and as material text. The argument examines how post-Marxist thought, in a new reading of Louis Althusser, might be used to challenge the Shakespeare of late capitalism. It suggests how a complex reading of the fetish in historiography, combining a history of the material book in Shakespeare, with a theoretical reading of William Pietz, Stephen Greenblatt and Peter Stallybrass, sheds light on the First Folio, one of the most famous - and fetishized - books in history. Le renoncement de Prospero a son livre dans La Tempete est une forme de reconnaissance de son pouvoir de quasi fetiche'. Cet article developpe l'idee du livre comme fetiche marchand' et comme texte materiel. Il propose d'utiliser la pensee post-marxiste, a partir d'une nouvelle lecture de Louis Althusser, pour interroger le Shakespeare du capitalisme tardif. Il suggere qu'une lecture complexe du fetiche' dans le domaine de l'historiographie, qui combine une histoire materielle du livre dans l'OEuvre de Shakespeare et une lecture theorique de William Pietz, Stephen Greenblatt et Peter Stallybrass, permet de mettre en perspective le First Folio, l'un des livres les plus celebres - et les plus fetichises - de l'histoire.
