Details

Lecture of the book Marx in the Anthropocene with the author – Kohei Saito.

Conversation with Cannelle Gignoux and Marius Bickhardt.

« In the wake of the publication of the German translation of his bestseller ‚Capital in the Anthropocene‘, we are pleased to welcome the Japanese philosopher Kohei Saito for talk about his academic book ‚Marx in the Anthropocene. Towards the Idea of Degrowth Communism‘ (Cambridge University Press 2023). Saito will give a presentation on chapter four entitled ‚Monism and the Non-identity of Nature‘, where he engages critically with a wide range of environmental scholarship in the fields of ecological marxism (J. B. Foster, J. Moore, A. Malm, A. Hornborg), marxist geography (D. Harvey, N. Smith), ecosocialism (K. Soper), feminism (S. Barca) and history (D. Chakrabarty). Saito’s thesis is that « methodological dualism turns out to be indispensable to any critical theory of nature in the Anthropocene ». Presentation : 45min, Discussion: 1h15, Moderation : Cannelle Gignoux & Marius Bickhardt ».

The event will be held in English
