Dear Colleagues,
I would like to bring your attention to a CfP for a conference at our
department in October:
Foucault and Marx: Ambivalences, Legacies, and Future Struggles
University of Vienna
18-19 October 2024
The international symposium "Foucault and Marx: Ambivalences, Legacies,
and Future Struggles" aims to explore the tense relationship between
Foucault and Marx and, on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of
Foucault's death in 2024, to put it into perspective with regard to
Foucault's intellectual legacy. Foucault is generally perceived as a
harsh critic of Marxism, both in terms of its analytical possibilities
and political dangers. This contrasts strongly not only with Foucault's
repeated emphasis on the centrality of Marx, but also with clear
theoretical parallels. The subject of the symposium is therefore the
question of how this ambivalence is to be understood, what it means for
possible continuations of the Foucauldian project and to what extent the
Foucault-Marx connection can be made fruitful for current and future
questions.
