Volume One is a fantastic read, the only volume published complete in Marx's
lifetime & chock full not only of analysis but of rage and humour too. If you
haven't read it then what more appropriate than to read it *collectively*...
(Although how the nazi Heidegger finds his way in there defeats me...)

Read Marx’s “Capital” at Goldsmiths: everybody is welcome (unless your
name is David Willetts)
Capitalism and Cultural Studies – Prof John Hutnyk.
http://hutnyk.wordpress.com/2011/11/29/read-marxs-capital-at-goldsmiths-all-welcome/
tuesday evenings from january 10, 2012 – 5pm-7pm Goldsmiths RHB 309 Free
– all welcome.
No fee (unless, sorry, you are doing this for award - and that, friends,
is Willetts’ fault – though the Labour Party have a share of the blame too).
This course involves a close reading of Karl Marx’s Capital (Volume One).
The connections between cultural studies and critiques of capitalism are
considered in an interdisciplinary context (cinema studies,
anthropology, musicology, international relations, and philosophy) which
reaches from Marx through to Film Studies, from ethnographic approaches
to Heidegger, from anarchism and surrealism to German critical theory
and poststructuralism/post-colonialism/post-early-for-christmas. Topics
covered include: alienation, commodification, production, technology,
education, subsumption, anti-imperialism, anti-war movement and
complicity. Using a series of illustrative films (documentary and
fiction) and key theoretical texts (read alongside the text of Capital),
we examine contemporary capitalism as it shifts, changes, lurches
through its very late 20th and early 21st century manifestations – we
will look at how cultural studies copes with (or does not cope with)
class struggle, anti-colonialism, new subjectivities, cultural politics,
media, virtual and corporate worlds.
