Historical Materialism Conference

Spaces of Capital, Moments of Struggle

10-13 November, SOAS, London, WC1


The ongoing popular uprisings in the Arab world, alongside intimations of a resurgence in workers' struggles against 'austerity' in the North and myriad forms of resistance against exploitation and dispossession across the globe make it imperative for Marxists and leftists to reflect critically on the meaning of collective anticapitalist action in the present.

The conference consists of scores of meetings including those on the occupations movement, the Arab Uprisings, autonomia, anthropology, 'the ultra-left', feminism etc...

Speakers include David Harvey, Terry Eagleton, Mute magazine, Endnotes, New Left Review, Turbulence etc...

£15 unwaged entrance for 4 days.

Try also Herstorical Materialism.

In the Oxford college dictionary of 1993 we managed to get Herstory put back into the English dictionary. After the Roman Slaveholders conquest of the British Tribes the wormen's language was expunged from the language and it never has been fully returned since. Hence fundawomanal, Huwomany, Herstory and Herstorical Materialism simply has not been restored, but there is thousands of such words based on womans' language that isn't recongnized in the Marxist and communist vocabulary and there is much need for there to be language majors to do so. Womans' identity very much is lost to the world if this way of treating language is not understood. Viva socialist liberation. End pollution wars, not endless wars for more and more pollution. Don't forget the British Tribes had a functioning Matriarchy ( natures 50-50 electing) that fronted thousands of years of organic ecological harmony and joy which is the natural man, woman question. Don't you think in a new millenium that it should be returned to the polity? That question should be adressed as you study Historical Materialism. Bon Chance!!
