SUMMARY:'Beneath the Wage' with Annie McClanahan
DESCRIPTION:A conversation with author Annie McClanahan on Beneath the Wage: Tips\, Tasks\, and Gigs in the Age of Service Work (Zone Books\, 2026). Today\, 80 percent of U.S. workers do service work\, from delivering takeout to mopping floors to teaching. Do these jobs have anything in common? Who is doing this work? And what kind of labor politics does it generate? \n\nAlthough service work has often been treated as a footnote to modern capitalism\, this talk uses service work to challenge conventional assumptions about how work is waged\, regulated\, managed\, and automated. It explores three paradigmatic types of contemporary service labor—superexploited tipwork\, deskilled clerical microwork\, and informalized gigwork—and argues that work done “beneath the wage” depends on racialized and gendered forms of economic domination and is often excluded from labor organizing and regulation. Yet service work has also begun to generate a new politics of solidarity\, one that rejects the compromises of industrial unionism and attends instead to the problem of reproduction in a low-wage economy. \nAnnie McClanahan is Professor of English at the University of California–Irvine. She directs the UC Marxist Institute for Research\, is Faculty Co-Director for UCI-LIFTED\, which offers a bachelors degree to incarcerated students\, and is the Vice President for the Council of UC Faculty Associations. She is also the author of Dead Pledges: Debt\, Crisis\, and 21st Century Culture (Stanford University Press\, 2017).

SUMMARY:Historical-Materialist Psychology: Vygotsky's Contribution
DESCRIPTION:Carl Ratner presents a new edition of this six-week series\, in which we seek to solve the riddle Marx posed in his first thesis on Feuerbach: “in contradistinction to materialism\, the active side [the subjective side of human behavior] was developed abstractly by idealism – which\, of course\, does not know real\, sensuous activity as such.” Exploring a materialist theory of subjectivity which does know sensuous activity\, we will see how historical materialism can be extended to reveal how it is compatible with psychology and how human psychology is itself a historical-materialist phenomenon. \nThe most sophisticated approach to historical-materialist psychology was developed by the Russian psychologist\, Lev Vygotsky (1896-1934)\, who formulated a “cultural-historical psychological theory.” This was a comprehensive psychological theory that encompassed child development\, adolescence\, cognition\, perception\, personality/self. Read more… \nCarl Ratner went through college and graduate school in the 1960s. He was a professor of social psychology in the California State University system for 31 years. He adopted Vygotsky’s work when it was first translated in the 1980s\, writing extensively on Vygotsky and authoring the Preface to vol. 5 of his Collected Works. Ratner was one of the few followers of Vygotsky who emphasized his Marxist orientation and developed it. Ratner is the author of Macro Cultural Psychology: A Political Philosophy of Mind (Oxford\, 2012); his most recent book is Cultural Psychology\, Racism\, and Social Justice (Springer\, 2022). Carl has been active in the cooperative movement and served on the board of directors of California’s largest food coop in the 1970s and 80s. He lived in China from 1981-1983 and taught the first course on social psychology in Peking University since it had been banned after the Revolution.

SUMMARY:Hegel for Radicals: On Art and Literature
DESCRIPTION:The End of History is here! So proclaimed Francis Fukuyama in the 1990’s\, following the disintegration of the Soviet Union. In the 1960’s the philosopher and art critic Arthur C. Danto proclaimed The End of Art\, noting the ascendancy of Andy Warhol’s pop art. The idea can also be traced back to the early years of the 20th century with Marcel Duchamp\, Dadaism\, and Cubism.  \nThe genesis of both concepts\, The End of History and the End of Art are credited to Hegel.  \nThe MEP’s recurring series Hegel for Radicals resumes with a seminar on Hegel’s Lectures on Aesthetics where we will study his understanding of art and literature. We will read the Introduction and several selected sections from the body of the lectures. As in virtually every area which he investigated\, Hegel brought about a revolution in the way we think of art and literature. He anticipated the development of modernism before it arrived\, as well as the enigmas raised by postmodernism. Agree with Hegel or not\, it is no exaggeration to say that all contemporary discourse about art and literature takes his work as its point of departure.  \nThis class series begins on October 31 and will introduce what is living in Hegel for those who want to change the world. Our goal is to make Hegel’s dialectic less mysterious as we go along and try to tease out the revolutionary implications in his thought and its significance for our time. Previous classes in Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit\, The Science of Logic and/or The Philosophy of Right will be helpful but are not a requirement for this class. Every participant in the class will be expected to make at least one presentation during the semester. \nAlex Steinberg is the facilitator of Hegel for Radicals. He is an independent scholar who has taught and published on topics such as the philosophy of Heidegger and Nazism\, Marxism and humanism\, Hegel’s philosophy of history and Hegel’s Phenomenology at various alternative educational institutions. Alex has also been involved with the governance of WBAI radio in New York and its parent organization\, Pacifica\, most recently as the Chair of the Pacifica National Board from 2020-2022.
