Class Description:

This seminar will make you familiar with Marx' key texts such as the "Economic-Philosophical Manuscripts", "German Ideology" or "Capital". Moreover, we will explore Marx Hegelian legacy, the formation of Marxism through the debates with the left Hegelians and inquire into key moments of the history of (theoretical) Marxism (Georg Lukács and Karl Korsch, the Frankfurt School, Michel Foucault and the New Marx Reading of the 1960s in Germany). Throughout, this course will put the pertinence of Marx' analytical tools to the test, discussing various attempts to update concepts such as class, labor, societal totality, crisis or revolution.
