Re/membering Twenty Years of Rethinking Marxism: An Interview with David F. Ruccio and Jack Amariglio

摘要

To mark the twentieth anniversary of Rethinking Marxism's publication, the founding and current editors of the journal (Jack Amariglio and David F. Ruccio, respectively) take stock of the past two decades in an interview conducted by three members of the editorial collective. From the naming of the journal to its origins at the University of Massachusetts, from the journal as a site of collective praxis to the journal as a commodity, from the journal's affiliation with postmodern Marxism to its relation to art, the participants cover a wide range of topics and do not shy away from autocritique. While taking the journal as its entry point, the interview is as much a reflection on Rethinking Marxism's past as it is on the vicissitudes of keeping the project of rethinking Marxism alive in the world of the academy, publishing, and leftist politics.
