The Centre for Philosophy and Critical Thought (CPCT), Goldsmiths, cordially invites you to
Jodi Dean
Capital’s Grave: A Forum
Thursday, 26 June 2025, 4–6pm BST
RHB 137a and online (hybrid)
With responses from:
Svenja Bromberg (CPCT)
Peter Hallward (CRMEP)
James Martel (San Francisco State)
Jodi Dean and three of her readers, Svenja Bromberg (CPCT Goldsmiths), Peter Hallward (CRMEP) and James Martel (San Francisco State), will be discussing her claims that capitalism is giving way to something that is arguably worse than capitalism itself: a form of neofeudalism that combines the worst elements of both capitalism and feudalism and adds terrible new features of its own. In this conversation, Dean and her interlocutors will discuss both the argument itself as well as its implications for resistance as we move into unprecedented and unparallelled times.
