---------------------------- Original Message --------------------- Subject: Fifth Marx International Congress (2) From: "Dominique Levy" <dominique.levy@ens.fr> Date: Mon, October 23, 2006 12:40 pm -------------------------------------------------------------------- THERE WAS A MISTAKE IN THE PREVIOUS MESSAGE. THE ADDRESS OF GERARD DUMENIL IS: dumenil@u-paris10.fr Fifth Marx International Congress . The congress will be held between October 3 and 6, 2007, in Paris (Sorbonne) and Nanterre University (Université Paris-X). The general theme of the congress is: Alterglobalism – Anticapitalism For an Alternative Cosmopolitics Information concerning the organization of the congress is gradually made available on Actuel Marx site, at the following address: <http:// netx.u-paris10.fr/actuelmarx /cm5/index5.htm> This message is devoted to the organization of the Economic Section of the congress, whose coordinators are Gérard Duménil (dumenil@u-paris10.fr) and Dominique Lévy ( dominique.levy@ens.fr ). As during earlier congresses, Economics will probably be an important section. During the Congress IV, it gathered about 70 panelists, within one plenary session and 16 workshops. The official language of the congress is French, although we can normally make a translation into English available for several plenary sessions. For Economics, we will do our best to set up sessions in English and Spanish, according to the number of panelists. Reviews or groups of investigation can organize workshops of their own. The theme of the congress suggests multidisciplinary approaches (Economics, Sociology, Politics...). Coordination will be sought during a later stage of the preparation of the congress. Call for papers (Applications must be sent before March 31, 2007) People willing to participate with a paper to be presented in a panel are asked to send a proposal of one page maximum, before the end of March 2007. We will inform the applicants before the end of April of the list of selected papers. We can, however, send letters of invitation to those willing to receive such a document as soon as possible (but such letters will not imply the acceptance of the proposal). The theme of the congress, alterglobalism and anticapitalism, suggests contributions on contemporary neoliberal capitalism, within a critical perspective and emphasizing possible trajectories beyond the present stage of capitalism. The analysis of “contradictions”, economic and correlatively political, seems particularly relevant, as well as the investigation of historical dynamics: which phases or stages capitalism underwent historically, how can we interpret the present phase, what are the perspectives? The overall field is obviously broad, but we ask the participants to actually focus their contributions on the theme of the congress. _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ Gerard DUMENIL, 39 rue d'Estienne d'Orves, 92260 Fontenay-aux-Roses, dumenil@ u-paris10.fr Dominique LEVY, Cnrs-Pse, 48 bd Jourdan, 75014 Paris, dominique.levy@ens.fr Page Web / Home Page : http://www.jourdan.ens.fr/levy/
