DESCRIPTION:To inaugurate a year of events, the Crisis in the Cultures of Capitalism 
 research cluster is holding a panel which follows two interrelated threads. 
 The first is the analysis of capitalism as a system, from its origins to 
 its contemporary transformations. This analysis extends across disciplines 
 and theoretical orientations, and one goal of this interdisciplinary panel 
 is to represent the wide range of approaches that UCSC faculty are taking 
 in their research into capitalism. The second thread is the reexamination 
 of Marxist theory. Throughout its history Marxism has extended into a range 
 of fields, from sociology to literary criticism, and has remained a crucial 
 reference point for theory which seeks to understand social life 
 historically. This panel will extend the historical analysis to Marxism 
 itself, critically reexamining its evolution and its engagement with its 
 changing social and political context.\n\nPanelists include:\n\nMiriam 
 Greenberg, Associate Professor of Sociology: ”Crisis-Driven Urbanization 
 and Contemporary Capitalism”\n\nJonathan Beecher, Professor Emeritus of 
 History: ”David Riazanov and the Marx-Engels Institute”\n\nTyrus

 Capitalism Research Cluster. Staff support provided by the Institute for 
 Humanities Research. For more information, including disabled access,

 series: “The Origins of Civil Society”\n\nThe development of the 
 discipline of political economy, including its dialogue with modern 
 political philosophy, is closely intertwined with the rise and expansion of 
 capitalist society. As we turn our attention today to capitalism’s crisis 
 tendencies and the future of market society, a critical examination of this 
 foundational history becomes the starting point of the analysis of the 
 present. This lecture series addresses the origins of civil society from 
 several vantage points: the legal and political forms that underlie market 
 relations; the transformation of the labor process; the role of gender and 
 reproductive labor; and the history of separation from the means of 
 subsistence.\n\nJan 16, 2014 – Warren Montag: “The Revocation of the 
 Right to Subsistence: On the Legal and Political Origins of the 
 Market”\n\nFeb 6, 2014 – Kathi Weeks: “The Problem with Work: 
 Feminism, Marxism, Antiwork Politics and Postwork Imaginaries”\n\nMar 6,

 Angela Merkel”\n
