"Anti-Globalization/Counter Globalization"

2008 CFP

The Marxist Literary Group's annual Institute on Culture and Society (MLG-ICS) will convene this summer in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, June 10-15, on the campus of the University of Wisconsin—Milwaukee. The six-dayInstitute will feature Purnima Bose and other invited guests, an intensive reading group on Rosa Luxemburg led by Paul Smith, Kanishka Chowdhury, Joseph Ramsey, and others (additional volunteers are invited), and consecutive (as opposed to simultaneous) panels.

The organizing committee is now accepting submissions for panel and paper proposals. As always, any work that engages seriously with the Marxist tradition will be considered. The special topic of this year's ICS is "Anti-Globalization/Counter Globalization." Papers that deal with this topic are especially welcome, though not required. Selected papers will be published in the online journal _mediations_.

Paper abstracts should be less than 500 words. Panel proposals should include the name and contact information of the panel organizer, a rationale for the panel, presenters' names, affiliations, paper titles, and abstracts of no more than 500 words. Please send submissions (preferably as pdf files) with a cover email including presenter or panel organizer contact information to carol.stabile@gmail.com by 1 March 2008.
