Capital/Today
A roundtable discussion of the new English translation of Karl Marx’s Das Kapital (Volume One).
Featuring:
Paul Reitter, Professor of Germanic Languages and Literatures,
Ohio State University
Paul North, Chair and Professor of Germanic Languages and Literatures,
Yale University
Maria Luisa Mendonça, CPCP, CUNY
David Harvey, CPCP, CUNY
Peter Hitchcock, CPCP, CUNY (moderator)
Reitter (translator and editor) and North (editor) worked for several years to produce the first English translation of Capital in a half century. The panel is particularly interested in not just how the project came to be, but in what it means to have a new translation of Capital available today, when capitalism remains globally present but forms of anti-capitalism have changed demonstrably. Can a new translation affirm that Capital is as dynamic as its subject?
This event is organized by the Center for Place, Culture and Politics.
It is Free and Open to the Public.

In her justly-revered book, Abolition Geography, Ruth Wilson Gilmore articulates the prescience of the praxis, politics, and poetics of “abolition” as a central principle of liberation movements and social change. The book is a culmination of decades of Gilmore’s ardent and inexhaustible commitment not just to undo the injustices of the carceral state with its infrastructure of racial capitalism, but to formulate abolition as a condition of revolutionary possibility since, as she puts it, “mass incarceration is class war.” Far from being a handy metaphor for the combined and uneven development of the world system, the prison is the material instantiation of global inequality where location at scale is a provocation to think activism as also, in its difference and intensities, confronting carcerality in all its manifestations.
The Center for Place, Culture and Politics’ 2024 conference intends to honor Gilmore’s contribution–in activism, politics, pedagogy, and theory—to an abolitionist agenda and is also crucially an invitation to think with her work on future imbrications of abolitionism with anti-racism, anti-capitalism, and anti-colonialism among a provocative array of allegiance to radical social transformation. In this way the conference not only celebrates a career, but extends it.

Video: David Harvey on capital, theory, and becoming a Marxist 13 May 2023 5:20 AM (last year)
From Verso Books:
“For fifty years David Harvey has written and lectured on Capital, becoming one of the world’s foremost Marx scholars. In addition, his work on the history and geography of capitalist development has transformed our understanding of neoliberalism and the spread of inequalities across the globe.
In this in-depth interview with Verso, Harvey recalls the formation of his Marxist ideas, intellectual influences, and writing. He also talks about the growth of the populist right and how that is connected to geographical electoral splits, Marx’s Grundrisse (which he has written a companion to), and Marx’s theories more broadly.
In this shorter video, taken from the above, Harvey talks about Marx’s Grundrisse (and why the Covid lockdown meant he finally wrote a companion to Marx’s infamous notebooks):
He is interviewed in both these videos by Sebastian Budgen, Editorial Director, Verso Books.
David Harvey’s Companion to Marx’s Grundrisse, published earlier this year, builds upon his widely acclaimed companions to the first and second volumes of Capital. See all our Essential David Harvey reading here!”
