I thought that Riccardo's reference yesterday to ghosts, possession and vampires in Marx should have made it clear that these were all metaphors. After all, Marx -- the materialist -- was hardly a believer in ghosts, etc. Or was he? Saul Newman seems to think so (see following from the mpslist). In solidarity, Jerry ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew Chitty" <a.e.chitty@sussex.ac.uk> Subject: Saul Newman on 'Spectres of the Uncanny', Chichester, Friday 9 December Dr Saul Newman (Researcher at the University of Western Australia) will be presenting a paper 'Spectres of the Uncanny / Or Why Stirner and Marx were afraid of Ghosts' at University College Chichester on Friday 9th December 2005 (5-7pm College House 4). This presentation is an open seminar and all are welcome. Dr Newman is the author of From Bakunin to Lacan: Anti-Authoritarianism and the Dislocation of Power (Lexington Books, 2001) and New Theories of the Political: Power and Subjectivity in Poststructuralist Thought (Routledge, 2005). He is one of the central theorists of 'postanarchism', which combines poststructuralist theory with anarchist critique. His work has been at the centre of critical debate in the anarchist milieu. An interview in which he discusses his work can be found at http://www.livejournal.com/community/siyahi/2019.html. For further details contact Dr. Benjamin Noys [b.noys@ucc.ac.uk]. If you could distribute this e-mail I'd be grateful. Thanks Dr Benjamin Noys Lecturer in the School of Cultural Studies UCC
