  Marx, Semiotics and Political Praxis

  This special issue of Open Cultural Studies will return to the work of Karl Marx to reflect on and engage with his coherent articulation of words and their use, of words and actions, and of the intellectual and the political. The coherence of his discourse and praxis offers tools to think through, if not seek to transform, the alienated semiotic landscape of our times as described by the Frankfurt school philosopheers, Jean Baudrillard, Frederic Jameson, Sloterdijk and Slavoj Žižek. To commemorate the 200th anniversary of Marx's birth, in this special issue we want to honour his 11th Thesis on Feuerbach: "philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways; the point, however, is to change it."

  Contemporary African and Black Diasporic Spaces in Europe

  "Open Cultural Studies" journal

  This special issue of Open Cultural Studies explores the social and cultural spaces in which identifications with African and black diaspora(s) become articulated, (re)negotiated and established as a field of collective agency with transformative power in European societies. It will argue that  African diaspora communities and cultures in Europe are constructed not only by individuals’ engagements with Africa and its global diaspora, or mediatized and commercialized notions of Africanness/blackness, but also through collective agency aiming at promoting change in European societies shadowed by the normative whiteness, nationalist discourses and policies, human rights violations and overt racism.

  Anthropological Materialism and Materialism of the Encounter. Our Actuality with Walter Benjamin and Louis Althusser

  Cette université d’été franco-allemande vise à établir des parallèles novateurs entre les philosophies de Walter Benjamin (1892-1940) et de Louis Althusser (1918-1990). Comme on sait, leur réception fut mouvementée. Tous deux étaient aussi, de leur vivant et chacun à leur manière (pour Althusser, surtout dans ses dernières années), des figures relativement marginales, qui travaillaient aux frontières des coupures disciplinaires, et se tenaient à l’écart des paradigmes d’écoles et des dogmatismes intellectuels.
