J.E. & I tackle “Who Paid the Pipers of Western Marxism?” in 2 pts: EP16 on the motive & method of the project; EP 17 on how far the book falls short of its own mission re: the Frankfurt School. Tried to keep it civil-ish but as you can see lol www.patreon.com/posts/156140...

Congrats, Niklas! Also, small world: David Laycock was one of my favorite undergrad profs at SFU and one of the reasons I got into political theory.

THE BOOK OF ABOLITIONS
by Karl Korsch
www.endnotes.org.uk/palabre/the-...
Adorno-Horkheimer didn’t get a copy of Benjamin’s “Theses” until mid-1941. Reading it they discovered not only remarkable coincidences with their most recent work but differences they couldn’t help but want to fight him over, hours without end, at a Parisian café open.substack.com/pub/jamescra...
📢 IPW Lecture at the University of Vienna
We are very excited to be hosting Banu Bargu (UC Santa Cruz) next week with a lecture entitled “Disembodiment: Corporeal Politics of Radical Refusal”
Join us on November 17 at 6:15 PM
📍 Hörsaal 2, NIG, 2nd Floor
Moderation: Alexander Kurunczi
alright going to try this again as well because i promised a comrade—does anyone have a PDF scan or institutional access to Bände 8-9 of the Korsch Gesamtausgabe? Would love to read letters he exchanges with Horkheimer in the late 30s about the Spanish Civil War, counterrevolution, & positivism!
the full series of seven discussions Horkheimer & Adorno had in January, 1939—focusing on the concept of the individual in Marx, Hegel, Freud, Kant, Hume, Heidegger, Caillois, the Oedipus myth, & more—that would lead to Dialectic of Enlightenment!
Join us on Friday, 12 September 2025 at 12:30pm for the 2025 History and Theory Lecture, Jacques Rancière's “Dividing Time: Reflections on the Practice of an Amateur Historian,” with a response by Emily Apter (NYU).
