xicanaspice: Fam! We’re almost half-way to making our goal! Help get me to London for Historical Materialism! I’m scheduled to present the following paper, but can’t if I don’t make it to London, so help a sista out! The Thirst is Real: On Drinking the Lemonade and Bringing Back the Popular Avant-Garde “…The popular avant-garde which we hope to rescue and advance, takes up the questions of popular culture and revolutionary politics that have for decades been largely overlooked by the left, and challenges those reactionary politics which have filled that void. In ‘Notes on Deconstructing the Popular’, the great Marxist cultural theorist, Stuart Hall explained that “Capital had a stake in the culture of the popular classes because the constitution of a whole new social order around capital required a more or less, continuous, if intermittent, process of re-education.” It is our task as Marxists then, to go back and answer the questions of how capital shapes, informs, and is informed by culture, and how we can make tools of those things which we create and which belong to us– art, music, dance, language– to grow our movements and advance our struggles.“ https://www.gofundme.com/redwedgelondon HELP ME GET TO HISTORICAL MATERIALISM LONDON!!! -- source link
