The Manuscripts was important works of Marx, in which the social relations of capitalism private ownership were analyzed by Marx using the concept of alienated labor. A deep analysis was conducted by Marx from the specific historical facts, in which the rational kernel of the alienated problem in the social relations of capitalism was mentioned. Specifically, the alienated labor theory was analyzed from the relationship of laborers with their labor products and labor itself, human' s essence, and other people under the condition of the capitalist private ownership; the "ought to be" ethical characteristics of labors were expounded from the perspective of ethics, and the abnormal labor relations in the process of capitalist production were ethically reviewed and criticized. Therefore, rich economic ethics thoughts were contained in Marx' s analysis of the alienated labor theory.展开更多

As such they provide a unique window for debate about the ethics of place. Place actually amounts to three places--home, which the worker leaves behind; mine compound, the workplace in the foreign country; and then the journey in-between, connecting home and work. In the poet's creative consciousness, the instability of place raises ethical responses--to home, which is often romanticized; to work, which is often dramatized and ridiculed; and to the journey, which is animated. Ethical questions about loss, longing, danger feelings of guilt, and the threat of death are implied. The genre as aesthetic verbal expression, allows space for negotiating degrees of acceptance of predicament and conciliation. A historic-economic, socio-cultural, and genre-specific approach enables a concise unpacking of how aspects of the ethics of place are brought together and rearranged by this oral poetry--the difela--that developed from the migrant mine labor system展开更多
