Capitalism and Cultural Studies – Prof John Hutnyk:
tuesday evenings from january 10, 2012 – 5pm-7pm Goldsmiths RHB 309 Free – all welcome.
No fee (unless, sorry, you are doing this for award – and that, friends, is Willetts’ fault – though the Labour Party have a share of the blame too).

The lectures/seminars begin on Tuesday 10th January 2011 between 5 and 7pm and will run for 10 weeks (with a week off in the middle) in the Richard Hoggart Building (RHB 309), Goldsmiths College. Students are required to bring their own copy of the Penguin, International Publishers or Progress Press editions of Karl Marx Capital Vol I. Reading about 100 pages a week. (Please don’t get tricked into buying the abridged English edition/nonsense!)
Note: The Centre for Cultual Studies at Goldsmiths took a decision to make as many as possible of its lecture series open to the public without fee. Seminars, essays, library access etc remain for sale. Still, here is a chance to explore cultural studies without getting into debt. The classes are MA level, mostly in the day – though in spring the Capital course is early tuesday evening. We usually run 10 week courses. Reading required will be announced in class, but preliminary reading suggestions can also be found by following the links. RHB means main building of Goldsmiths – Richard Hoggart Building.

Are you thinking of streaming or capturing any of these sessions? So much provocative thinking needs to be distributed far and wide… Mark

we recorded some of them last year, but the quality was rubbish. We’ll try to do better this year.

We’re doing Capital here in Malmö, Sweden, chapter by chapter, as a self-organized close reading group, beginning January 16. I would certainly be interested in video documentation or streams of the lectures if available, as I’m sure the rest of our group would be. A good complement to David Harvey’s lecture series on Capital, all of which was recorded and made available on-line. Great initiative by the Centre for Cultural Studies, by the way.

Hi Chris
Thanks for that on Althusser. I think you are right. I should have referred to the recent talk by one of the Postone group that suggested this versioning of Althusser. Your memory is good.
The follow on point I should have made was that Marx himself suggests, in a letter to Kugelman, starting with the chapter the Working Day. Actually, this is advice to Kugelman’s wife. I also wonder what it would be like to start the text with the historical material that Marx says he wrote first. Maybe reading the volume backwards would work – primitive accumulation then Australian and Irish colonialism etc… It is a plausible reading, and one that the Federici Leopoldini people might approve (autonomist feminist critique). Could be something. Another year maybe.

I scrolled this looking for an email address to request this course’s lecture content listing.
I hope I can pick up on this course by attending from now.
If this is a published blog- where can I find the Harvey lecture series Ola Stahl refers to?
I have heard the 10 part youtube series of Harvey at Cornell

Hi
I will do a book of them eventually. As twisted literary political anarchic antidote to comrade Harvey. Some of the ‘performances’ were videod and are floating around, but not online yet (if ever!). Doing it all again from January 2013.
But also a digest version on the bandstand at Clapham Common from 3pm on 5 May, if you are in town?
(if not in town, I will privately circulate drafts of the lectures on receipt of an email and you swearing in blood (and labour capacity) that they not be posted online yet, they are rough drafts. People who have been several times since I started doing this 14 years ago, say the presentation has improved, for whatever that is worth (value) Lal salaam from Oslo).
