Does anyone have recommendations for literature on 19th century conservative philosophy? I am working on Jacob Burckhardt and Juan Donoso Cortés, but general intellectual histories are also welcome

Once had a professor with three doctorates who signed himself as "Dr. Dr. Dr. [Last name]". Now aspiring to be Dr. Dr. Dr. List of Lists of Lists

New article out:

Come come to the nicest critical conference of the year! Don't worry, it's not even that Marxist and definitely not very Danish

In a new piece I helped edit in our JHI forum on intellectual history and political economy, @lottelist.bsky.social complicates Koselleck’s rosy view of liberal economist Adam Smith as “sober” and free from the ideological blinders of utopian continental progressive philosophies of history

👀

Very happy to have contributed this little think piece for the wonderful JHI forum on political economy in intellectual history!

The freshest research is hitting the oldest university next week!

2020: @charlottecator.bsky.social joins @dkmarxsoc.bsky.social , quickly rises to queen of Danish Marxism 2025: Dutch Marxist takeover I smell a conspiracy!

Well who isn't?

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.

The International Association of Genocide Scholars has passed a resolution stating that Israel’s actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of genocide. Read the resolution here genocidescholars.org/wp-content/u...

Wonderful book! Also for non-subject matter experts - Patrick's historical approach is a great inspiration

Coming soon in paperback! The Poetry of Class: Romantic Anti-Capitalism and the Invention of the Proletariat by Patrick Eiden-Offe www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2803-t...

It would be a huge step forward if people stopped reading the Atlantic

Does anyone know of anything interesting happening on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of The Wealth of Nations next year?

Does anyone know if there is an English translation of Schmitt's 1931 "Die staatsrechtliche Bedeutung der Notverordnung, insbesondere ihre Rechtsgültigkeit"? Asking for a friend

Is the human being by nature good or evil? And what does this imply for a theory of post-revolutionary political institutions? Big questions and some tentative answers in my newly published article:

New issue of RP is out! As always, it’s a mix of different formats and there are some really great pieces in this edition. Find it out all open access here. Below a quick overview and my special recommendation for Gillian Rose nerds! 1/3

Jeg har skrevet en artikel til Information om Hannah Arendts kritik af den etnonationalistiske israelske stat og det manglende opgør med folkemordet som en universel forbrydelse, uanset ofrenes etnicitet. Dele af hendes Eichmann-rapport klinger næsten profetisk i lyset af folkemordet i Gaza i dag.

My friend Erik Sporon Fiedler just published an edited volume on political and economic theology. Some excellent contributions with, among others, @lottelist.bsky.social , Mitchell Dean and Paolo Santori.

Marxist Besties💖 it is abstract selection season and it has been TOUGH this year😭💔 We got a lot of ✨a m a z i n g✨ abstracts and had to make some really tough decisions - since we could only select about half!! So in the interest of transparency here are some insights into our process:

HANNAH ARENDT ON GENOCIDE: I just finished writing a short piece (in Danish) on Hannah Arendt’s critique of the Israeli legal system in her report on Eichmann. One thing that didn’t fit in the format, but which struck me was her considerations on the necessity of laws on crimes against humanity. 1/4

Danish Marxism making headlines. Brilliant colleague and comrade @routhier.bsky.social on the front page of the Danish public service news provider, explaining why he declined a Fulbright scholarship for a research stay at NYU @dkmarxsoc.bsky.social

Danish marxist @mariethogersen.bsky.social will be defending her PhD thesis, "Ruling the Cloud: A Critique of International Cyber Law" at University of Copenhagen 😍 Please join us on June 2nd if you want to see something as rare as a Danish Marxist PhD in international law💅 cms.ku.dk/preview/4932...

“UN warns 14,000 babies could die in Gaza in next 48 hours without aid.”

So I wrote about why I declined my Fulbright grant and canceled my research stay at NYU. Free Khalil, free all political prisoners, free Palestine 🇵🇸 politiken.dk/del/mN-u9dAE...

Selling tech to the Israeli military but denying you have any knowledge about its use in harming Palestinians in Gaza. That’s like giving a madman a knife and acting all surprised when he stabs someone. apnews.com/article/micr...

Come hear @kmunro-econ.bsky.social talk about her exciting research in Copenhagen✨ The talk is free and open to everyone!

If anyone were still in incomprehensible doubt about this being a genocide: “The fighting has displaced more than 90% of Gaza’s population, often multiple times, and turned Gaza into an uninhabitable moonscape.” apnews.com/article/isra...

Once again we are drowning in 🔥abstracts and we are not mad about it! Thank you so much! We really appreciate every single one even though we will only be able to accept half of them😭💔

4/4 This also means that @sorenmau.bsky.social and I are looking for a place to live near Gothenburg from September 1, 2025. We’re dreaming about renting an old wooden farmhouse in the forest with space to read, think, write and live. Any heads up are highly appreciated ❤️

Critical researchers, Marxists, and historians of all kinds, please consider submitting your work to this conference on the concepts of history and time and their political implications, to take place in beautiful Bologna October 27th-29th:

With Trump’s declaration of a state of exception on the border and removal of legal protections at will, Agamben's work appears relevant again, even if he seemed to lose it during COVID. In my new article, I try to work out how we can still use his thinking to make sense of the world in spite of him

If the Danish Marxists do not get off their asses and submit their abstracts, this will be a very International, non-Danish conference! (Which we would love btw, please keep it up, all you awesome non-Danish anti-hygge Marxists out there)
