Tropes of transport

The idea of mediation plays such an important role in the long
and complex history of the Marxist reception of Hegel that it might be
confusing to encounter the term here, in the context of a discussion
of transports. Indeed, I am not concerned with the concrete forms of
mediation—between man and nature or between classes—that Marxist
theorists have foregrounded. Capital, the media, or labor are not my primary interests here (although my irritation at the fact that the discipline
of philosophy is interested in the emotions only when they labor in the
service of epistemology or morality, and the fact that this emotional labor is unevenly divided across gender lines, was an important motivation
for this work).
