The first issue of IMPRINTS: a journal of analytical socialism is now out. I attach a contents list and subscription information. IMPRINTS: a journal of analytical socialism _________________________________________________________________ Imprints aims to promote a critical discussion of socialist ideas freed from theoretical dogma but committed to the viability of an egalitarian and democratic politics. We take for granted that most societies in the world are characterised by class oppression but that class division does not exhaust the unjust inequalities to which their peoples are subject. Contributions are invited on topics such as the theory of history the normative foundations of politics and the philosophical foundations of social inquiry; and on social inequality political practice and institutional change. The criteria for the acceptance of papers include analytical power and empirical rigour; no school of thought or intellectual tradition is excluded though we are committed to the view that the world remains a rationally intelligible place. _________________________________________________________________ CONTENTS OF VOL. 1 NO. 1 (JUNE 1996) INCLUDE * An interview with G. A. Cohen * Alan Carling: 'Prosperity Autonomy and Community: John Gray on Politics the Market and Values' * Graeme Kirkpatrick 'Northern Ireland since the Peace' * Ian Gough reviews Philippe Van Parijs Real Freedom for All * Ellen Meiksins Wood 'Intellectuals and Universalism' _________________________________________________________________ Editor: Christopher Bertram Associate Editors: Alan Carling Jennifer Hornsby Graeme Kirkpatrick Published three times a year in March June and September _____________________________________________________________ * Subscriptions: Individual EU 15 UK pounds; Individual support 20 UK pounds; Rest of world outside EU 30 UK pounds or $40 US Institutions should double these rates. * Correspondence: Editorial: 9 Woodland Road Bristol BS8 1TB England or email C.Bertram@bris.ac.uk * Administrative/subscriptions: 58 Wilmer Drive Bradford BD9 4AS England _________________________________________________________________ -- Christopher Bertram Department of Philosophy University of Bristol UK.

Rethinking MARXISM announces an international conference. . . POLITICS AND LANGUAGES OF CONTEMPORARY MARXISM 5-8 December 1996 University of Massachusetts-Amherst USA CALL FOR PAPERS AND PROPOSALS Deadline: 15 August 1996 The editors of Rethinking MARXISM announce the third in a series of international conferences. The first two conferences attended by over one thousand persons each brought together under a common tent many different voices of the Left from around the world. "Marxism Now: Traditions and Difference;" held in 1989 created a forum where new heterogeneous directions in Marxism and the Left could be debated after the end of orthodox uniformity. In 1992 the conference "Marxism in the New World Order: Crises and Possibilities" confronted directly the challenges theoretical organizational and spiritual which face the Left and Marxism as the millennium nears. RM intends this third conference on the "Politics and Languages of Contemporary Marxism" to open new and creative spaces for political cultural and scholarly interventions. The global restructuring of social relations now taking place (which some call a new offensive of "capital") and the accompanying new crises and forms of resistance that in a more or less systemic way affect the lives of people the world over require a strategy of cooperative dialogue between and among diverse Marxian and other communities of struggle. It is in the dialectics of these varied notions and forms of community and in the struggles to wrestle them from the hegemony of bourgeois discourse that the future of Marxism lies. The purpose of Politics and Languages of Contemporary Marxism is both to continue the ongoing dialogue among already existing Marxisms and to nurture the development of new visions of community that will serve our shared hopes for a more ethical and uncompromisingly humane world. The conference will be held over four days beginning at noon on Thursday 5 December and ending in early afternoon on Sunday 8 December. There will be concurrent sessions art/cultural events and plenaries throughout the conference. We invite the submission of sessions that follow nontraditional formats and are open to dialogue among and between presenters and audience such as workshops and roundtables. We encourage those working in areas which intersect with Marxism such as feminism cultural and literary studies queer theory postcolonial studies and the issues of race and ethnicity to submit proposals. We also encourage the submission of proposals with all forms of artistic and cultural modes of meaning and forms of presentation. SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS Proposals for individual papers and sessions should be sent to Stephen Cullenberg (marxconf@ucrac1.uc.edu) Department of Economics University of California Riverside CA 92521 USA or fax: 909/787-5685. The deadline for submission of all proposals is 15 August 1996. ART AND CULTURE A new type of artist would be one who would not be content merely to reflect social relations but would also endeavor to change them. Hanns Eisler Rethinking MARXISM has from its inception drawn on and given voice to a wide variety of perspectives and forms of expression. Central among these have been artistic and other cultural approaches. From the Tales of Herr Keuner by Bertolt Brecht to the paintings of Sue Coe including poetry short stories photographs and essays by such individuals as David Wojnarowicz R. G. Davis Susan Jahoda Felix Guattari Joseph Nechvatal May Stevens and Joel Schecter the work of artists and cultural critics has figured prominently in the pages of RM. The two previous conferences sponsored by RM Marxism Now: Traditions and Difference (1989) and "Marxism in the New World Order: Crises and Possibilities" (1992) also featured art exhibitions videos performances and other contributions by a wide variety of radical artists and critics. What is the role of art in the contemporary world? What are the new and older forms of artistic and cultural expression that can play a role in challenging our perceptions of the world around us? And how can they participate in changing that world? These questions which we have raised in the pages of RM and in the course of previous conferences are central to the upcoming conference Politics and Languages of Contemporary Marxism. If the overall purpose of this conference is to continue the ongoing dialogue among already existing Marxisms and to nurture the development of new visions of community we are especially concerned with providing a forum in which radical artists and critics can show their work and discuss with others the possibilities contained within the diverse politics and languages of Marxism. We are interested in the range of modes of expression and critical perspectives encompassed by radical art and culture today from depicting the ravages of contemporary society to criticizing and posing alternatives to traditional notions of representation from treatments of the body to forms of subaltern identity and from rock videos and cyberpunk to architecture and opera. Contact Susan Jahoda (sej@art.umass.edu) for questions concerning artistic and cultural sessions and events.
