Call for Papers
Planned conference (10 and 11 June 2022) at the University of Oldenburg
The contradiction between capital and nature
The topic - the continued development of capitalism threatens the natural foundations of life - is highly topical. As important as the natural sciences are for the diagnosis of this destruction, a social theory that uncovers the structural reasons for the destruction is just as important. The conference aims to contribute to the clarification of these reasons. Only if we succeed in clarifying the social causes of the dramatic phenomena can we take the urgently needed sensible action. The organisers hope that the conference will provide a political impetus for the opposition movement against the destruction of nature under capitalism.
A concept for the conference is available. You can find points of reference for your presentations in the topics formulated there. These presentations should not exceed 40 minutes. Please submit your proposals for presentations by 10 January 2022. Your exposés should not exceed two pages. We plan to publish the conference contributions.
The conference is organised by the Forum for Marx Research Oldenburg.
Contact: Prof. Dr Hans-Georg Bensch (),
Prof. Dr Ulrich Ruschig ()
