Details of the event
The roundtable brings together Aletta Norval (Essex), Lois McNay (Oxford), Oliver Marchart (Vienna) and Sergei Prozorov(Helsinki). They will speak to the following three questions:
- Is political ontology merely the epochal form of critique at a time when alternatives to capitalism are often thought to be unimaginable?
- Have we exhausted the intellectual and practical resources of other forms of critique, such as feminist, post-colonial or Marxist approaches?
- What new forms of political imagination can animate critique and re-invigorate democratic practices?
The Edinburgh event will be chaired by one of the organisers.
