Femminismo e marxismo / Call for papers

Di seguito il cfp per il panel Feminisms and Marxisms all'interno dell'Historical Materialism Conference, 'Weighs like A Nightmare' (SOAS - Central London, 8-11 November 2012), giunta quest'anno alla sua nona edizione: A new generation of anti-capitalist feminists has emerged in the last years across the world. Though not without tensions and disagreements, these new feminist currents have been in constant dialogue with different traditions of Marxism and the Marxist critique of political economy in areas ranging from social science, philosophy to art history. With the aim of providing a space for this dialogue, the 9th Historical Materialism conference in London welcomes presentations exploring the synergies between the feminist and the Marxist critiques of capitalism in their various articulations.Paper proposals (between 200 and 300 words) should be submitted by registering at http://www.historicalmaterialism.org/conferences before 10 May 2012.
