After Globalisation: A Return to Marx?
>This two-day Anglo-French Conference, organised in Paris in
association
>with the Collège international de philosophie and the journal Actuel
Marx,
>is a sequel to an Anglo-French conference on 'Returns to Marx' held in
>London in June 2002. The purpose is to revisit certain strands of the
>Marxist tradition in the light of the phenomenon of globalisation and
the
>various 'anti-capitalist' movements that have grown up in opposition
to it.
>A particular aim will be to encourage dialogue between Anglophone and
>Francophone readers of Marx. The recent work of Jacques Derrida,
especially
>Specters of Marx and Marx & Sons, will be a central focus of
discussion.
