Where are all the Radical Thinkers?
Tuesday 20th May, Queen Elizabeth
Hall, London, 7:30pm
Tickets: £12
Our leading thinkers discuss the
history and future of radical thought at this centrepiece event in
the
Southbank series 'All Power to the Imagination'. After the
events of 1968 there was a dramatic rise in
the popularity of
radical theory, but in the 21st century it seems to be on the wane -
is it still
useful? Has its utopianism been found lacking after the
collapse of the Soviet Union and the rise of
neo-liberalism? Where
is the next generation of radical thinkers? A distinguished panel of
authors from
Verso's acclaimed Radical Thinkers series discuss the
context in which radical thought evolved in the
1960s and debate its
future.
PANELLISTS:
Peter Dews, author of Logics of Disintegration:
Poststructuralist Thought and the Claims of Critical
Theory
Ernesto
Laclau, author of Emancipation(s) and On Populist Reason
Jacqueline
Rose, author of Sexuality in the Field of Vision and Last
Resistance
Göran Therborn, author of What Does the Ruling Class Do
When it Rules? and From Marxism to Post-Marxism?
The event is
chaired by Patrick Wright, author of Iron Curtain: From Stage to Cold
War.
