4:15-6:15 pm - The Story of Capital w/The People’s Forum

Join us for a public virtual live stream of Prof. David Harvey’s course The Story of Capital. The course entails a close reading of the recent book The Story of Capital: What Everyone Should Know about How Capital Works by David Harvey.

For decades, David Harvey has been teaching Marx’s work, particularly Capital, to great acclaim. He has analysed chapter by chapter – sometimes line-by-line – Marx’s three volumes and the Grundrisse. This new book opens up the mental universe of that work for a general reader.

In The Story of Capital, Harvey takes a synoptic approach to the conceptual architecture as a whole and guides us through the key moments, from labour and technology to the state and geopolitics, via the profit rate, social reproduction, the relationship to nature, fictitious capital and the return of the rentiers. In doing so, Harvey has produced a work which will become a key reference for all those trying to grasp the nature of contemporary capitalism.

5 pm - OH 51- Sectarianism vs. Resistance w/Alia Al-Saji w/Adnan Husain

The Radical Academy is in session for Office Hours 51 Fri Oct 30 at 5pmET for a vital discussion situating intellectual, religious and political discourses on sectarianism and resistance in contemporary West Asia in their historical and philosophical contexts. Joining me for this episode is Dr. Alia Al-Saji of McGill University. Dr. Al-Saji is a decolonial philosopher and phenomenologist who examines Islamic resistance ideology, particularly Shi’i revolutionary theology as a decolonial practice. We’ll talk about the resistance theologies of Shi’i and Sunni Islamists and the confrontation with compatible imperialist Islam as well as the sectarianism that serves empire and sows division. Perhaps we will also get a chance to talk about Fanon, another area of Dr. Al-Saji’s interest! Join us with your comments and questions!
