New Marxist Approaches to Literature and Art | Red May 2021

Описание: What would art look like in a liberated world? A revolutionary one? Historically, Marxist conversations about literature and the arts have centered on questions about art’s role building counter-ideologies to capitalism in socialist societies, or about whether art objects are commodities in capitalist society. But what about post-socialism, or the capitalism of declining profitability. Our panelists are using Marx to understand literature and art in new ways, approaching them as values, rather than commodities or expressions of ideologies per se. Their ideas are theoretical, but also grounded in real places and times — in the aftermath of state socialism in the former Soviet Union, for instance, or in what used to be called the global “periphery” of Latin America.

About Red May:
Red May is a month-long spree of red arts, red theory, and red politics based in Seattle, Washington. We gather in bookstores, movie theaters, bars, parks, cafes, alleys, and auditoriums to share in discussion and plot ways forward toward a world in common: a world beyond capitalism. While we will continue our annual collective hurdle over the wire of our capitalist horizon, now you can join us throughout the other 11 months of the year.

Subscribe to our channel, view our archives, including The Social Movements Lab with Michael Hardt and Sandro Mezzadra, and other upcoming programs. Listen to our new podcast Cinder Bloc. featuring interviews, discussions, and stories about the world-making and world-breaking potential of life in late capitalism.

We've done all this so far through volunteer effort, donations, throwing everything on a credit card, and hoping for the best. But times change. Pandemics beat the hell out of you. And now we hope you'll join us to keep Red May moving forward into the future.
