Marx and Marxism 2019: Marxism without taboos – confronting oppressions
In this second decade of the 21st century, we witness the growth of political and social movements guided by ultraconservative perspectives, with strong sexist, racist, LGBT-phobic, and xenophobic speech and violence. On the other hand, the emergence of powerful social movements in defense of the rights of such groups highlights the importance of their agenda to critical thinking and for contemporary political projects. Would Marx and the Marxist traditions have significant contributions to the discussion of oppression?
The International Colloquium Marx and Marxism 2019 – Marxism without taboos: confronting oppressions – invites participants to reflect on questions of theoretical and/or historical order relative to these themes, from different angles but unified by the Marxist theoretical framework.
