We slightly re-edited this recording after noticing a glitch in the episode that went out a couple of days ago. Sorry about that – just listen to this one instead!

With Jason Read, Andrew Goffey and Jeremy Gilbert (with help from Charlie Clarke)

What do we actually mean by ‘Marxism’? What is historical and what is materialist about historical materialism? Does it matter what Marx himself thought about anything? Is Marxism a philosophical school or a political programme? What is all this going to have to do with Spinoza?

This is session 0 of our series ‘From Marx to Spinoza: Affect, Ideology, Materiality’. For more information on the series see HERE.

NB: the recording seems to stop quite suddenly without any sign-off, but in fact that was the end of the substantial part of the seminar (the rest was just us messing about, deciding exactly how to end).
