Rejecting the emphasis on individuals and multitudes\, Jodi Dean a rgues that we need to rethink the collective subject of politics. When cro wds appear in spaces unauthorized by capital and the state鈥攕uch as in the Occupy movement in New York\, London and across the world鈥攖hey create a ga p of possibility. But too many on the Left remain stuck in this beautiful moment of promise鈥攖hey argue for more of the same\, further fragmenting is sues and identities\, rehearsing the last thirty years of left-wing defeat . In Crowds and Party\, Dean argues that previous discussions of the party have missed its affective dimensions\, the way it operates as a knot of u nconscious processes and binds people together. Dean shows how we can see the party as an organization that can reinvigorate political practice.\n\n This event is sponsored by Critical Social Theory at 大发彩票平台 with support f rom the Yan P. Lin Centre's Research Group on Constitutional Studies.\n DTSTART:20161014T200000Z DTEND:20161014T220000Z LOCATION:Room 217\, Maass Chemistry Building\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B8 \, 801 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:鈥淐rowds and Party\,' a talk by Jodi Dean URL:/lin-centre/CriticalSocialTheory-20161014-Dean END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
