We celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Paris Commune with an in-person symposium. The event brings together scholars specialising in literature, the visual arts, material culture, political theory, and more, for an interdisciplinary exploration of the Commune’s ongoing political and cultural significance. The conference also hopes to reinvigorate wider cross-disciplinary debates about the generative logic of insurrectionary events as well as about the formation of radical traditions.
The symposium will consist of four panels and a concluding roundtable. For the full programme, see: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-commune-at-150-tickets-180793687787
