Resumen
CONCHEIRO SAN VICENTE, Luciano. The introduction of the Formen and the Asiatic mode of production to Mexico: an analysis of Roger Bartra’s early work. Cuicuilco. Rev. cienc. antropol. [online]. 2023, vol.30, n.86, pp.123-154. Epub 25-Sep-2023. ISSN 2448-8488.
This article studies the role played by anthropologist Roger Bartra in the introduction to Mexico in the 1960s of Karl Marx’s hitherto virtually unknown text , Formenor Precapitalist Economic Forms, and specifically of one of the concepts presented therein: the Asiatic mode of production (AMP). To this end, the history of the early Mexican reception of the Formen is recons-tructed and the importance of the concept of AMP for the development of a Marxism that recognizes the diversity of historical developments is explained. It also analyzes Roger Bartra’s use of the AMP to examine ancient American societies and his role as editor in disseminating this concept and the Formen in the Mexican intellectual field.
