The fourth annual Historical Materialism Conference held in conjunction
with the Socialist
Register will take place between 9–11 November, 2007 at the School of
Oriental and African Studies, Central London.
As has become a hall-mark of this event, the conference will be
interdisciplinary in nature. Within this context several specific
strands are highlighted this year. These include Gramsci's contribution
to Marxism, the significance of Marx's Grundrisse, the Russian and
Spanish revolutions, contemporary debates on labour, current issues in
political economy with cross country/regional analysis, and critical
film studies.
Confirmed speakers include:
Gilbert Achcar, Greg Albo, Chris Arthur, Jacques Bidet, Robin
Blackburn, Robert Brenner, Alex Callinicos, Simon Clarke, Gregory
Elliott, Ben Fine, Andrew Glyn, Michael Heinrich, Makoto Itoh, Sharon
Kivland, Esther Leslie, Domenico Losurdo, David McNally, Fred Moseley,
Michael Neocosmos, Ilan Pappe, Moishe Postone, Helena Sheehan, Max
Tomba, Goran Therborn, Mike Wayne, Paul Willis and Slavoj Zizek.
One of the principle objectives of the conference has been to build
bridges among the various Marxist communities, including the breaking
down some of the linguistic and intellectual barriers which continue to
hamper the circulation and expansion of critical Marxist thought. The
fourth annual Historical Materialism Conference promises to continue
and take forward this objective.
The conference has become an important event on the Left, providing an
annual forum to discuss recent developments on the agenda of historical
materialist research and has had a cumulatively high attendance over
the past three years. While there is no call for papers, the Editorial
Board of Historical Materialism welcomes attendance and active
engagement in discussion with panellists from new as well as prior
participants with an interest in critical Marxist thought.
More details of this year's event will be posted shortly and online
registration will be available soon.
