Alfred Sohn-Rethel, Intellectual and Manual Labour: A Critique of Epistemology

Christian Caiconte | May 5, 2022

The Past & Present Reading Group commenced 2022 by reading Alfred Sohn-Rethel’s Intellectual and Manual Labour. In my view, engaging with the book meant a rare and valuable opportunity to stop and reflect on the link between epistemology and Marxist theorising, a theme that had been haunting [...]

Milton Santos, The Nature of Space

David Avilés Espinoza | December 14, 2021

The Past & Present Reading Group has reengaged its spatial turn since completing Henri Lefebvre, The Production of Space; Doreen Massey, Spatial Divisions of Labour; and Jennifer Robinson, Ordinary Cities. It has done so also by travelling outside the Anglophone and European scholarly world to [...]

Kohei Saito, Karl Marx’s Ecosocialism

Anna Sturman | September 28, 2021

I have the distinctly nerve-wracking pleasure of being the resident ecosocialist* charged with writing up a review of Kohei Saito’s Karl Marx’s Ecosocialism: Capital, Nature, and the Unfinished Critique of Political Economy (hereafter KME), the latest academic tome read by the Past & Present [...]

Martha Giménez, Marx, Women, and Capitalist Social Reproduction

Arianna Introna | June 30, 2021

The first book that the Past & Present Reading Group has encountered in 2021 has been Martha Giménez’s Marx, Women, and Capitalist Social Reproduction: Marxist Feminist Essays. Giménez’s aims are to theorise the relationship between the capitalist mode of production, social reproduction [...]

Georg Lukács, History and Class Consciousness: Studies in Marxist Dialectics

Madelaine Moore | December 29, 2020

For the last book of 2020, the Past & Present Reading Group tackled Georg Lukács’ classic, History and Class Consciousness. There was a general sense that although the text remains a critical work for the development of a theory of praxis and for historical materialism more broadly, as [...]

Cedric J. Robinson, Black Marxism: The Making of the Black Radical Tradition

Austin Smidt | September 22, 2020

There is too much to say. At the same time, there is a marked simplicity to convey. Black Marxism: The Making of the Black Radical Tradition is both a sprawling investigation and also hums a singular refrain. To convey these rhythms, this brief piece will attempt to both entice readers to [...]

5 Talking Points from Moishe Postone’s ‘Time, Labor and Social Domination’

Janet Burstall | June 18, 2020

The Past & Present Reading Group at the University of Sydney has just completed reading Moishe Postone’s classic book Time, Labor and Social Domination: A Reinterpretation of Marx’s Critical Theory (Cambridge University Press, 1996). The book provided very fertile ground for [...]

Raewyn Connell and Terry Irving, Class Structure in Australian History

Llewellyn Williams-Brooks | October 16, 2019

Class Structure in Australian History has been ignored for most of its life as an academic publication. Historians argued the text was not empirically rigorous; left-wing commentators that it lacked a sufficient account of race, class, gender, the mode of production, the world-system [...]
