Peter Weiss’ The Aesthetics of Resistance turns 50 this year. Does anyone know of something (symposia, special issues, commemorations) planned in relation to this fact?

Are you dying to know if Hegel hated ersatz coffee? Then boy do I have the piece for you. Very happy to be part of the JHI blog forum on political economy in intellectual history!

“We never thought we were going to overthrow the entire political regime within two days.”

Damn this is a timely book. Can't wait

I’m going to Denmark and giving a bunch of talks about abolition, speculative fiction, family and related themes.

This is a travesty. Honestly, McGill should be censured by CAUT for this decision and the changes it is making to the student code of conduct that will compromise student academic freedom and undermine the very conditions of the institution’s accreditation. Solidarity, @marxinhell.bsky.social

This one too, like Marx said about the bronze statue of Napoleon, "will come crashing down"

Something is rotten in Denmark. Please consider joining the 150+ signatories of this letter in solidarity with our international students, particularly those from Bangladesh, who are being targeted as part of a broader xenophobic political campaign.

Roskilde University was founded by a surprising alliance of parliamentary parties and radical student movements both trying to reform the old universities. It was an experiment characterized by interdisciplinary and collaborative problem-driven approaches to learning and radical ideas. 1/3

In today's doomscrolling: 110.000 white nationalists went marching in the UK, nazi billionaire loser in the US zooms in to incite violence then doxes 100s of teachers, nurses and professors for refusing to mourn his nazi friend ... oh and they want to kill the homeless population too...
