Abstract
The recent Social Reproduction Theory (SRT) from Marxist Feminism recovers the Marxian notion of social totality and consequently the dialectical method that informs it, pointing to the need for a unitary understanding of capitalist social relations. However, SRT has yet to specifically develop a critique of the social forms that make up the complexity of the capitalist social totality. My hypothesis is that the dialogue between the SRT and Guilherme Leite Gonçalves' Theory of the Social-Legal Reproduction of Capitalism can help in the construction of a social theory in which Law and the State, as social forms, are also inserted in the ontological constitution of the social relations of production. Therefore, the aim of this article is to present a theoretical dialogue that inserts the elaborations of Guilherme Gonçalves in the social theory built by SRT, in order to contribute to the construction of a social theory that both apprehends unitarily the social relations and understands Law and State as parts of capitalist social relations.
