DANGEROUS LIAISONS!
THE MARRIAGES AND DIVORCES OF MARXISM AND FEMINISM
Wednesday 29 January 2014, 6pm
Friends Meeting House,
6 Mount St, Manchester M2 5NS
CINZIA ARRUZZA
Cinzia Arruzza, Italian revolutionary socialist feminist, activist and academic, member of the Fourth International, currently at the New School for Social Research in New York, is author of the 2013 book Dangerous Liaisons: The Marriages and Divorces of Marxism and Feminism. The book runs through debates over links between Marxism and feminism ranging from the Russian and Chinese revolutions and the rise of Stalinism to the second wave feminist conceptualisation of gender as class relation and then to recognition-based politics and queer theory.
This meeting is co-sponsored by organisations working together in Manchester: Socialist Resistance, AntiCapitalist Initiative, and International Socialist Network. It continues an urgent debate within the revolutionary left at the Beyond the Fragments event in Manchester about the role of feminism in our politics.
There will be a reading group focussing on the four chapters of the book in the lead up to Cinzia’s visit. To be involved in that reading group, and to get the book for £7.00, contact Ian at discourseunit@gmail.com
