>PURPOSE: The editors of RETHINKING MARXISM announce the fourth in its
>series of international Gala conferences that aim to celebrate the richness
>of contemporary Marxism in all its varieties. The prior three conferences,
>each attended by well over one thousand persons from across the globe,
>brought together a variety of Marxian and other liberation communities to
>discuss, debate, and strategize about diverse theoretical and political
>concerns.
>
>*In 1989, "Marxism Now: Traditions and Difference" created a forum where
>new, heterogeneous directions in Marxism and the Left could be debated
>after the breakup of orthodoxy.
>
>*In 1992, "Marxism in the New World Order: Crises and Possibilities"
>confronted directly the challenges--theoretical, organizational, and
>spiritual--which faced the Left and Marxism as the new millennium neared.
>
>*In 1996, "Politics and Languages of Contemporary Marxism" continued the
>dialogue to open creative new spaces for political, cultural and scholarly
>interventions in the face of global restructuring of social relations.
>
>With the new millennium upon us, the editors of RETHINKING MARXISM intend
>"Marxism 2000" to explore and engender fresh insights and hopes, struggles
>and pleasures, and to (re)claim utopian visions for just and humane global
>alternatives. As Marxism's long first century draws to a close, we may
>reflect back on its many successes and unfortunate failures. The history of
>Marxism has certainly been contradictory, and we can learn from and embrace
>the insights of the many Marxisms that have profoundly shaped the last 150
>years. Today, as a new millennium dawns, familiar specters have now
>dematerialized and capital is becoming increasingly global. New visions and
>analyses beg for articulation. As we enter Marxism's next century, the Left
>once again faces tremendous challenges and exciting opportunities. It is
>time to take stock and move Marxism's future forward.
>
>
>STRUCTURE: The conference will be held over four days, beginning at noon on
>Thursday 21 September and ending in early afternoon on Sunday 24 September.
>In addition to three plenary sessions and performance, there will be
>concurrent panels and art/cultural events. We invite the submission of
>pre-organized sessions that follow traditional or non-traditional formats
>(such as workshops, roundtables, and dialogue among and between presenters
>and audience). We encourage those working in areas that intersect with
>Marxism, such as feminism, political economy, cultural and literary
>studies, queer theory, working class and labor studies, postcolonial
>studies, geography and urban studies, social and natural sciences,
>philosophy, and around the issues of class, race, ethnicity, gender,
>sexuality, and disability, to submit paper and panel proposals. We welcome
>video, poetry, performance, and all other modes of presentation. Indeed, we
>encourage paper or panel submissions from those working on any and all
>subjects of interest for a world without exploitation and oppression.
>
>
