12/4- “Marx for Cats”
“Marx for Cats: A Conversation with Leigh Claire La Berge and Jodi Dean”
December 4th at 7:00 PM ET
Via Zoom
What is the role of cats in history’s struggle between economic freedom and limitation? Might we view them as comrades? Jodi Dean and Leigh Claire La Berge discuss Marx for Cats: A Radical Bestiary, a book which uses 1200 years of economic history to argue not only that Marxism has the ability to be an interspecies project, but that it already is one.
Leigh Claire La Berge is Professor of English at BMCC CUNY and author of Wages Against Artwork : Decommodified Labor and the Claims of Socially Engaged Art and Marx for Cats: A Radical Bestiary, both published by Duke University Press.
Jodi Dean is Professor of Political Science at Hobart and William Smith Colleges. Among her many books are Comrade : An Essay on Political Belonging and Crowds and Party, both published by Verso.
