Dear comrades,
A huge thanks to all the participants in the 2024 Historical Materialism London conference. The conference was a huge success with over 800 presentations and 900 attendees that joined us over the four days.

Dear Comrades,

Dear Comrades,

Historical Materialism is deeply grieved by the passing of the Marxist intellectual giant, philosopher and cultural critic Fredric Jameson at the age of 90. Jameson’s work fundamentally reshaped our understanding of culture, politics and aesthetics, leaving behind an enduring legacy that has inspired generations of thinkers, activists and scholars.

If, at the top of the state building, they play the violin, how can we not expect those at the bottom to start dancing?
