Critical Highlights

The seventh biennial conference of the Marcuse Society recently concluded its meetings (October 26-28, 2017) at Founders College at York University in Toronto, Canada. This conference -- "The Dialectics of Liberation in an Age of Neoliberal Capitalism" -- was organized by faculty, staff, and students at York University by a committee chaired by Prof. Terry Maley (seated on the left of the photo above). Among other things, the conference featured keynote panels and lectures, including one on "Marcuse's Dialectic" presented by Prof. Andrew Feenberg (see photo above).

 
The Marcuse Society welcomes your thoughts on our future direction and your participation in moving things forward.

Please send your ideas about the upcoming conference -- in 2019 at the University of California, Santa Barbara -- to Prof. Harold Marcuse <marcuse@history.ucsb.edu>.

If you have ideas or questions about the Marcuse Society, please do not hesitate to contact Prof. Arnold Farr <arnold.farr@uky.edu>, Prof. Sarah Surak <smsurak@salisbury.edu>,  or Prof. Andy Lamas <ATLamas@sas.upenn.edu>.

Five new lectures (1966-1976) by Herbert Marcuse have recently been discovered in the Marcuse Archive in Frankfurt, Germany. The lectures concern the growing emergence of a "new sensibility" and a "transvaluation of values" that since the Sixties have activated key sectors of society against alienation, economic oppression, racial and gender inequality, and for the radical--rather than minimal--goals of socialism. The booklet is priced at $20, and sales benefit the Marcuse Society.
