_______________

Fixity, Succession, Progress, & Degeneration: Cuvier, Hegel, Spencer, Lombroso

(syllab tba)

See especially the works of Rosa Luxemberg , Professor of Economics, author of the first sustained critique of Marx's Capital in her Accumulation of Capital, and leader of the Spartacus rebellion; and I. I. Rubin, Professor of Economic History, whose view that Marx presented a theory and critique of culture ---and not a science of society--- earned him a death in the Gulag. A reading of these will provide a foundation as well to understanding the Critical Theory of the Frankfurt School.

Many of the translations of Marx date from the Soviet era, and although sometimes the differences can be subtle, the effect of the politics of the era on the translations could itself be the subject of a course. We will use the Penguin Classics translation, which is considered more up to date.

Genealogical Sources
for the Study of Karl Marx (unfinished fragment, but you will get the idea)

Bibliography on Karl Marx and Marxism
from Stanley Aronowitz's course: "Marx," CUNY Graduate Center, 1996.
