On the occasion of the 150. To commemorate Rosa Luxemburg's birthday, her life and work, can mean, the diversity of their short, to visualize life ended by murder. We want to do this, when events in full halls will be possible again.
The event announced here deals with the question of the topicality of your thoughts and work. Along with Karl Liebknecht, she is one of the leaders of the German labor movement, who were not only respected across the various camps of the labor movement and beyond, but were loved by many, and this - despite the recently revived resentment against intellectuals – as intellectuals, as a theorist. So the question of the topicality of Rosa Luxemburg is above all the question of the topicality of her thinking, which, however, was a radical one.
Our speakers and discussion partners Georg Fülberth and Gert Meyer (both Marburg) pursue this question under two main focuses.
▸ How up-to-date is Rosa Luxemburg's analysis of capitalism and imperialism?
▸ How up-to-date is Rosa Luxemburg as a theoretician of the political?
Both aspects of her thinking are closely related in her fight against the threat of war, by working closely with Lenin. Her main economic work The accumulation of capital (1912) ends with a chapter on militarism. Her analysis of the threat of war and war was closely linked to her analysis of social democracy.
Your entire thinking could be put under the guiding question: How can the members of the working class leave behind the role of the object that has been imposed on them, actively intervene in their living conditions and become subjects of their lives?
