SUMMARY:Social Reproduction Theory with Lisa Maya Knauer.
DESCRIPTION:This six-week reading group\, facilitated by Lisa Maya Knauer\, will focus on one of the germinal texts of social reproduction theory: Lise Vogel’s groundbreaking 1983 work\, Marxism and the Oppression of Women: Toward a Unitary Theory. Marx argued that capital accumulation depends not only upon the production of goods and the extraction of surplus value\, but also on the reproduction of capitalist social relations and above all of the class of people who have nothing to sell but their labor power. Social reproduction theory analyzes the processes whereby working classes and their conditions of life are sustained over time. Marx only sketched the concept in very broad terms\, but it was taken up and expanded upon by Marxist and radical feminists in the 1970s and 1980s. Vogel and others argued that women’s oppression under capitalism is linked to their role in social (as well as biological) reproduction. We will supplement Vogel’s classic work with some early writings by the Wages for Housework campaign and more recent scholarship\, including a newly published collection of Lise Vogel’s essays\, The Contested Domain. Some familiarity with Marxist and/or feminist theory is helpful but not essential. \nLisa Maya Knauer stumbled across the writings of the Wages for Housework campaign in the mid-1970s when she was a college student. A few years later\, she started reading Marx’s Capital at the MEP’s predecessor\, the School for Marxist Education. She is a co-founder of the MEP and has led our Capital Volume I reading groups for the past few years. In her day job\, she is a tenured radical at a public university. \nRegistration for this group is now closed. Contact info@marxedproject.org for more information.

SUMMARY:AI versus Labor: Luddism and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Weekly sessions on Tuesdays at 1 pm through December 2024 \nIs Artificial Intelligence (AI\, sic) really the dire threat to the future of humanity as even some of its proponents claim\, or is it a more mundane and familiar threat to working people who face loss of their livelihoods and/or further speed-up and alienation? The entire history of industrial capitalism is punctuated by recurring waves of automation to reduce labor costs and turnover time\, each time provoking strong resistance by the affected workforce. This reading group will probe the history both of AI and computer technology specifically and of working-class resistance to capitalist automation in general. In eight weekly sessions we will read\, discuss\, and critique two recent works: Breaking Things at Work: The Luddites Are Right About Why You Hate Your Job\, by Gavin Mueller; and The Eye of the Master: A Social History of Artificial Intelligence\, by Matteo Pasquinelli. Both are available in paper and eBook format from the publisher\, Verso Books. Additional reading selections will be provided in PDF format. \nFacilitated by Fred Murphy. Fred has led numerous study groups on ecosocialism\, science and technology\, the history of capitalism\, and Latin American politics at the Marxist Education Project since 2015. He studied and taught historical sociology at the New School for Social Research. \nThere is no fee for this eight-week online reading group – RSVP below if you wish to attend and we will send you the Zoom link. A suggested donation of $50 or whatever amount you can afford is welcome and appreciated.

SUMMARY:Book Talk: Liberating Abortion
DESCRIPTION:A recording of this October 20\, 2024\, event is available on the MEP’s YouTube channel. \nRegina Mahone presents Liberating Abortion\, a galvanizing history recentering people of color to put forth a timely argument that we must liberate abortion for all. In their book Mahone and co-author Renee Bracey Sherman illustrate the long racist history that brought us to this moment\, uncover the hidden figures who laid the foundations that activists and storytellers are building on today\, and explain how abortion has been and remains essential to the health of our communities. Liberating Abortion takes us back to the basics of sex education\, detailing the traditions of abortion over centuries\, while examining how society makes us feel about our experiences. The book presents rigorous research\, never-before-heard stories\, and eye-opening interviews with over 50 people of color who’ve had abortions – including activists\, actresses\, television writers\, politicians\, and the two Black members of Jane\, the Chicago feminist service that provided abortions before Roe. With poignant storytelling and precise analysis\, Liberating Abortion will change how you think about abortion forever. \nRegina Mahone is a writer and editor whose work explores the intersections between race\, class\, and reproductive rights. A senior editor at The Nation\, she also runs Repro Nation\, a monthly newsletter about global efforts to protect reproductive freedom. With Renee Bracey Sherman she co-hosts the podcast The A Files: A Secret History of Abortion from The Meteor. Regina has written for publications including Cosmopolitan\, Elle\, Rewire News Group\, Romper\, The Nation\, and Truthout. She lives in New Jersey with her partner and two children. \nLiberating Abortion will be released on October 1 and is available for pre-order at liberatingabortion.org.

SUMMARY:Woman\, Life\, Freedom: Iran through the Lens of Antonio Gramsci
DESCRIPTION:With Piruz Alemi\nJuxtaposing documentary video footage with selected readings from Antonio Gramsci’s Prison Notebooks\, we will deepen our understanding of the current uprising among women and young people in Iran. Applying Gramsci’s dual perspective on Individuality/Universality\, Hegemony/Authority\, Force/Consent\, Terror/Legitimacy\, Strategy/Tactic\, Agitation/Propaganda\, and State/Civil Society\, we will examine spontaneous movements\, subaltern groups\, and the balance of domestic and international forces. These sessions will offer an opportunity for participants to document\, write\, screen films\, archive\, brainstorm\, and stay informed about the movement for Woman\, Life\, Freedom in Iran. They will be accessible to people at all levels of familiarity with Gramsci’s work and Iranian history and politics. \nConvened and facilitated by Piruz Alemi\, who holds a PhD in political economy from the New School for Social Research and an MFA in documentary film making from CCNY. He is director of the People of Color International Cultural Exchange Film Festival. He has taught at John Jay College/CUNY for 15 years and holds a research fellowship at Sheffield university in the UK.

DESCRIPTION:I speak from the deep end of night.\nOf end of darkness I speak.\nI speak of deep night ending.\n – From “The Gift” by Forugh Farrokhzad\nThe winter 2023 series of the MEP Literature Group focuses on Iranian women writing since the 1978-79 Revolution whose stories are set inside Iran. We have compiled a reading list from an essay by Niloufar Talebi\, “100 Essential Books by Iranian Writers: An Introduction & Nonfiction\,” published on the Asian American Writers’ Workshop website.

These sessions will offer an opportunity for participants to document\, write\, screen films\, archive\, brainstorm\, and stay informed about the movement for Woman\, Life\, Freedom in Iran. They will be accessible to people at all levels of familiarity with Gramsci’s work and Iranian history and politics. \nConvened and facilitated by Piruz Alemi\, who holds a PhD in political economy from the New School for Social Research and an MFA in documentary film making from CCNY. He is director of the People of Color International Cultural Exchange Film Festival.

SUMMARY:Peru: Crisis and Uprising
DESCRIPTION:Banners read\, “They all must go! Jail the murderers! Elections now! Not one more death! Out with Dina Boluarte! Down with the racist civil-military dictatorship! Shut down Congress! For a people’s constituent assembly!”\nA video of this February 22\, 2023\, event is available on the MEP’s YouTube channel. \nA deepgoing political crisis is shaking Peru\, with massive protests by working people in the countryside and cities\, murderous repression by the armed forces and police\, and desperate efforts to restore order by a widely hated right-wing Congress and an unelected president\, Dina Boluarte. Women and Quechua and Aymara people from the Andean countryside and interior cities are taking a leading role in demanding that Boluarte and the Congress resign and that a democratic constituent assembly be convened to enable a government that represents Peru’s diversity rather than the exploitative\, racist elites of Lima. Join us as Peruvian left activist and sociologist Nicolás Lynch reports on and analyzes these dramatic events direct from Lima. Historian Gerardo Rénique moderates and joins the conversation. \nNicolás Lynch has published many books and essays on Peruvian politics and history. He has taught at the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos in Lima and has served as Peru’s Minister of Education and as Ambassador to Argentina. Lynch holds a Ph.D. in sociology from the New School for Social Research. \nGerardo Rénique taught Latin American history for many years at the City College of New York. He is a frequent contributor to Socialism and Democracy and NACLA: Report on the Americas. His research interests include the political traditions of popular movements in Latin America\, and race\, national identity and state formation in Mexico.

In Part II\, our spring session\, we will begin with a novel set in 1979 and end with a novel set in contemporary Iran. More information… \nEveryone is welcome!

SUMMARY:Woman\, Life\, Freedom: Iran through the Lens of Antonio Gramsci
DESCRIPTION:With Piruz Alemi\nJuxtaposing documentary video footage with selected readings from Antonio Gramsci’s Prison Notebooks\, we will deepen our understanding of the current uprising among women and young people in Iran. Applying Gramsci’s dual perspective on Individuality/Universality\, Hegemony/Authority\, Force/Consent\, Terror/Legitimacy\, Strategy/Tactic\, Agitation/Propaganda\, and State/Civil Society\, we will examine spontaneous movements\, subaltern groups\, and the balance of domestic and international forces. These sessions will offer an opportunity for participants to document\, write\, screen films\, archive\, brainstorm\, and stay informed about the movement for Woman\, Life\, Freedom in Iran. They will be accessible to people at all levels of familiarity with Gramsci’s work and Iranian history and politics. \nConvened and facilitated by Piruz Alemi\, who holds a PhD in political economy from the New School for Social Research and an MFA in documentary film making from CCNY. He is director of the People of Color International Cultural Exchange Film Festival. He has taught at John Jay College/CUNY for 15 years and holds a research fellowship at Sheffield university in the UK.
