SUMMARY:The Fallout of War: Chronologies of Conflict
DESCRIPTION:A video of this May 6\, 2023\, event is available on the MEP’s YouTube channel.\n\nYale Working Group on Globalization and Culture\nFirst of two parts. Part Two \nWar: what is it\, and what is it good for? War might seem like a foregone conclusion or a state of exception; in either case it is an archetype of crisis. In two linked sessions\, the Yale Working Group on Globalization and Culture presents their collective research on a keyword of contemporary cultural studies – war – and investigates its many valences as lived reality and as metaphor. Trade wars can become militarized\, and hot wars can look cold\, depending on your vantage point. The race war\, Twitter tells us\, is impending; but in an age of US forever war(s)\, understanding war as punctuating the flow of history seems to be entirely insufficient. War is\, some argue\, a way of life\, a structuring condition that shapes our examinations of the history of the present. The war on drugs\, the war on poverty\, the war on COVID\, the war on Christmas – war is also a ubiquitous metaphor\, a self-righteous idiom that announces moral panic and articulates racial logic in otherwise terms. But metaphors of war have also influenced various radical traditions and social movements\, including anti-war activism and Gramsci’s deployment of metaphors of war in his theorizing of hegemony. Taking account of war as constitutive of the present\, the working group explores war’s meanings as event\, analytic\, and metaphor. \nPanel I Presentations:\nDamanpreet Pelia reflects on teaching “civil wars” both as metaphor and historical event\, the usefulness of reading old texts\, and the problem of making sense of the present in the classroom.\nMichael Denning reviews Marxist theories of war\, developing an account of capitalist conscription and imperial wars.\nLucero Estrella thinks comparatively about Japanese-Mexicans and Japanese-Americans on either side of the U.S.-Mexico border during World War II.\nJessica Marion Modi thinks through the metaphorics of war in black poetry following World War II\, theorizing the “off-rhyme situation\,” as poet Gwendolyn Brooks called it\, of a postwar atomic age and slowly decolonizing world in which black Americans had fought for democracy abroad without the provision of it at home.\nSalonee Bhaman writes on the “Culture Wars” from the rise if the New Right to the “Witch Hunts” of the present day.\nMarú Pabón chairs this panel. \nThe Yale Working Group on Globalization and Culture is an interdisciplinary cultural studies laboratory that has been practicing collective research at Yale University for two decades. Over the years\, we have presented work collaboratively at numerous cultural studies conferences as well as at the Marxist Education Project\, the Left Forum\, Occupy Boston\, and the World Social Forum. Past projects have been published as “Going into Debt\,” online in Social Text’s Periscope\, and as “Spaces and Times of Occupation” in Transforming Anthropology; a collective interview regarding “Matters of Life and Death” appeared in Revue Française d’Études Américaines. The current members—Aanchal Saraf\, Damanpreet Pelia\, Javier Porras Madero\, Jessica Marion Modi\, Lucero Estrella\, Madeleine Han\, Maru Pabón\, Michael Denning\, Monique Flores Ulysses\, and Salonee Bhaman—work in American studies\, history\, Latinx studies\, literary criticism\, African-American studies\, Asian American studies\, comparative literature\, and womens\, gender and sexuality studies.

SUMMARY:Arise! The Mexican Revolution's Global Impact
DESCRIPTION:With Author Christina Heatherton\nThe Mexican Revolution was a global event that catalyzed international radicals in unexpected sites and struggles. Christina Heatherton’s book Arise! Global Radicalism in the Era of the Mexican Revolution reveals how activists around the world found inspiration and solidarity in revolutionary Mexico. Heatherton traces the paths of Black American artist Elizabeth Catlett\, Indian anti-colonial activist M.N. Roy\, Mexican revolutionary leader Ricardo Flores Magón\, Okinawan migrant organizer Paul Shinsei Kōchi\, Soviet feminist Alexandra Kollontai\, and other key figures. From art collectives and farm worker strikes to prison “universities\,” Arise! reconstructs how radical organizers found new ways to fight global capitalism and forge an anti-racist internationalism from below. \nChristina Heatherton is the Elting Associate Professor of American Studies and Human Rights at Trinity College. With Jordan T. Camp she edited Policing the Planet: Why the Policing Crisis Led to Black Lives Matter and Freedom Now! Struggles for the Human Right to Housing in LA and Beyond. She currently codirects the Trinity Social Justice Initiative and is co-host and co-producer of the SJI’s podcast Conjuncture. \nArise! is available from the publisher\, University of California Press.

SUMMARY:The New Power Elite: C. Wright Mills Revisited
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT IS POSTPONED – new date to be announced\nIn 1956\, sociologist C. Wright Mills published The Power Elite\, a study that challenged conventional postwar assumptions that the United States was a society of democracy and upward mobility. Mills analyzed how power and social status in the 1950s had become concentrated in an immense corporate-government power complex that overrode the country’s apparently democratic and egalitarian institutions. Mills feared that\, if not constrained\, concentration and centralization of power at the top of modern society would result in a revival of the violent capitalist authoritarianism or fascism that marked the 1920s and 30s. The Power Elite had a profound influence on the rise of the New Left and contributed to the revival of Marxism in the 1960s (although Mills himself was not a Marxist). \nIn The New Power Elite\, Heather Gautney offers us a contemporary companion to Mills’s work through a fresh critique for the new millennium. She takes up the problems that Mills addressed and echoes his outrage over the injustices and ruin brought by today’s elites. She grounds her analysis more in political economy than in institutional authority as Mills did. Gautney also accounts for changes in global capitalism over the last forty years\, arguing that neoliberalism and the centering of the market in political and social life has ushered in ever more extreme forms of violence and exploitation and a drift toward authoritarianism. \nHeather Gautney\, Associate Professor of Sociology at Fordham University\, has authored numerous books and articles on social inequality\, U.S. politics\, labor\, and social movements\, and opinion essays for major news outlets. She has served as a senior policy advisor to Senator Bernie Sanders. \n(This event was originally scheduled for Wednesday\, April 19.)

SUMMARY:From Austerity to Fascism: The Capital Order
DESCRIPTION:A video of this December 10\, 2022\, event is available on the MEP’s YouTube channel.\n\nClara E. Mattei presents The Capital Order\, in which she explores the intellectual origins of austerity to uncover its originating motives: the protection of capital – and indeed capitalism – in times of social upheaval from below. Drawing on newly uncovered archival material from Britain and Italy\, she offers a damning account of the rise of austerity – and of modern economics – at the levers of contemporary political power. Mattei reveals how the threat of working-class power in the years after World War I animated policies that elevated owners\, smothered workers\, and imposed a rigid economic hierarchy across societies. Where austerity “succeeded\,” relatively speaking\, was in their enrichment of ruling-class interests who accumulated power and capital at the expense of labor. Here is where the true value of austerity can be observed: its insulation of entrenched privilege and its elimination of all alternatives to capitalism. \nClara E. Mattei is assistant professor of economics at the New School for Social Research in New York City. She was a 2018-2019 member of the School of Social Sciences at the Institute for Advanced Studies.

SUMMARY:Global Civil War: Capitalism Post-Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:Watch the video from this November 19\, 2022\, event on YouTube. \nWith William I. Robinson\nGlobal Civil War provides a big-picture account of how the coronavirus pandemic and new digital technologies have transformed capitalism and the entire global economy and society. Analyzing the concentration of power and control in the hands of corporate conglomerates\, tech giants\, megabanks\, and the military-industrial complex\, the book documents the extent of unprecedented global inequalities as the mass of humanity faces violent dispossession and uncertain survival. The book issues a dire warning against the emergence of a dystopic digitalized dictatorship but also finds great hope and inspiration in the burgeoning social movements of the poor and the dispossessed as humanity descends into global civil war. \nWilliam I. Robinson is Distinguished Professor of Sociology\, Global Studies\, and Latin American Studies at the University of California at Santa Barbara. Among his many books are Global Capitalism and the Crisis of Humanity (2014); Into the Tempest: Essays on the New Global Capitalism (2018); and The Global Police State (2020). \nGlobal Civil War is available from the publisher\, PM Press.

SUMMARY:Palm Oil: The Grease of Empire
DESCRIPTION:A video of this October 29\, 2022\, event is available on the MEP’s YouTube channel. \nIt’s in our food\, our cosmetics\, our fuel and our bodies. Palm oil\, found in half of supermarket products\, has shaped our world. Max Haiven uncovers how the gears of capitalism are literally and metaphorically lubricated by this ubiquitous elixir. With a sweeping\, experimental narrative\, Haiven takes us on a global journey that includes looted treasures\, the American system of mass incarceration\, the history of modern art and the industrialisation of war. Beyond simply calling for more consumer boycotts\, Haiven argues for recognising in palm oil humanity’s profound potential to shape our world beyond racial capitalism and neo-colonial dispossession. \nMax Haiven is a writer and teacher and Canada Research Chair in Culture\, Media and Social Justice. His most recent books are Art after Money\, Money after Art: Creative Strategies Against Financialization (2018) and Revenge Capitalism: The Ghosts of Empire\, the Demons of Capital\, and the Settling of Unpayable Debts (2020). Max also edits VAGABONDS\, a series of short\, radical books from Pluto Press. He teaches at Lakehead University\, where he co-directs the ReImagining Value Action Lab (RiVAL).

SUMMARY:Robert Brenner’s The Economics of Global Turbulence
DESCRIPTION:The Economics of Global Turbulence: A Close Reading and Discussion\nConvened by Sam Salour\n\nRobert Brenner’s The Economics of Global Turbulence: The Advanced Capitalist Economies from Long Boom to Long Downturn\, 1945-2005 (1998\, rev. 2006) remains among the best accounts of the evolution of advanced capitalist economies since the Second World War. His analysis of the long downturn\, although strongly criticized by certain Marxists\, proved able to account not only for the great recession but also for the global economic stagnation ever since. Even bourgeois scholars of different persuasions – whether neoclassical\, neo-Keynesian\, post-Keynesian or Kaleckian – now acknowledge that the dynamism of the advanced capitalist economies has been slowing dynamism ever since the 1980s.\n\nWe are engaging in a close reading of the text with extensive discussion. We read 10 to 15 pages in each session and expect to finish the book in 6 months. We will follow up with a reading of Brenner’s The Boom and The Bubble and his article “What is Good for Goldman Sachs is Good for America\,” in which he extends his analysis to account for the Great Recession.\nRobert Brenner is professor emeritus of history and director of the Center for Social Theory and Comparative History at UCLA. His influential article\, “Agrarian Class Structure and Economic Development in Pre-Industrial Europe\,” imprinted his name on a central debate concerning the origins of capitalism – the Brenner Debate. \nNo prerequisites nor any preparation is required.

SUMMARY:Robert Brenner’s The Economics of Global Turbulence
DESCRIPTION:The Economics of Global Turbulence: A Close Reading and Discussion\nConvened by Sam Salour\n\nRobert Brenner’s The Economics of Global Turbulence: The Advanced Capitalist Economies from Long Boom to Long Downturn\, 1945-2005 (1998\, rev. 2006) remains among the best accounts of the evolution of advanced capitalist economies since the Second World War. His analysis of the long downturn\, although strongly criticized by certain Marxists\, proved able to account not only for the great recession but also for the global economic stagnation ever since. Even bourgeois scholars of different persuasions – whether neoclassical\, neo-Keynesian\, post-Keynesian or Kaleckian – now acknowledge that the dynamism of the advanced capitalist economies has been slowing dynamism ever since the 1980s.\n\nWe are engaging in a close reading of the text with extensive discussion. We read 10 to 15 pages in each session and expect to finish the book in 6 months. We will follow up with a reading of Brenner’s The Boom and The Bubble and his article “What is Good for Goldman Sachs is Good for America\,” in which he extends his analysis to account for the Great Recession.\nRobert Brenner is professor emeritus of history and director of the Center for Social Theory and Comparative History at UCLA. His influential article\, “Agrarian Class Structure and Economic Development in Pre-Industrial Europe\,” imprinted his name on a central debate concerning the origins of capitalism – the Brenner Debate. \nNo prerequisites nor any preparation is required.
