DESCRIPTION:Hey there you lovers of social theory and philosophy – Old Capitol Books 
 is teaming up again with the Direct Action Monterey Network to bring a 
 series of seminars on critical and political theory to downtown 
 Monterey.\n\nThis summer’s seminars are facilitated by a collection of 
 artists, professors, and students who live and work on the peninsula, 
 covering the topics of Transgender Anarchism, Marxist-Feminism, Queer 
 Theory, and Transnational Feminism.\n\nMarxist-Feminism\nFriday 19 August 
 2016, 7pm\nFacilitated by Stephanie Spoto\n\nWhat is the function of 
 domestic labor under capitalism? Why were women pushed out of the factories 
 after the war? How can we understand the “unhappy marriage of Marxism and 
 feminism”? This seminar will look at the works of Angela Davis, Silvia 
 Federici and other key Marxist and feminist thinkers to explore the nature 
 of the feminist movement in relation to anti-capitalist 
 movements.\n\nReadings (all available for free at 
 oldcapitolbooks.com):\n\nAngela Davis, “The Approaching Obsolescence of 
 Housework: A Working-Class Perspective”\n\nThe Making of Capitalist 
 Patriarchy: Interview with Silvia Federici\n\nAnne Ferguson and Rosemary 
 Hennessy “Feminist Perspectives on Class and Work”, The Stanford 
 Encyclopedia of Philosophy\n\nTHE FULL SERIES:\n\nQueer Theory\nFriday 5 
 August 2016, 7pm\nFacilitated by Ali Elfaki\n\nTransgender 
 Anarchism\nFriday 12 August 2016, 7pm\nFacilitated by Heather 
 Flescher\n\nMarxist-Feminism\nFriday 19 August 2016, 7pm\nFacilitated by 
 Stephanie Spoto\n\nTransnational Feminism\nFriday 26th August 2016, 
 7pm\nFacilitated by Sriya Shrestha\n\nThese series of seminar sessions have 
 been put together to encourage the exchange of ideas, experiences, and 
 knowledge surrounding a particular topic or theme. We want to create a 
 place where people can meet with other people from Monterey Bay communities 
 to talk about current events and discuss new philosophies and ways of 
 thinking critically about society. Though these seminars have been designed 
 for non-students, and for those of us who have had little or no college 
 experience, everyone is invited to participate. We believe that everyone 
 can have something to offer to the seminars as we move through current 
 debates in politics and different political and social theories.\n\nFREE 
 AND OPEN TO EVERYONE\n
