MARXIST SUMMER SCHOOL e Institute for the Radical Imagination is pleased to announce the creation of the Marxist Summer School, to be held yearly in Greece. For 2020, the Summer School will take place from June 28th through July 11th on the island of Kasos. e Marxist Summer School is designed to enable those who are new to historical materialism as well as more advanced participants to address fundamental questions, concepts, and texts in an intensive way and in an inclusive, non-sectarian, and congenial setting. ere will be two daily seminar sessions (held in the Kasos municipal library) where participants will collaborate on close readings of texts and address some of the core political problems of our times: from ecological devastation, the transformation of desire and subjectivity, and the politics of economic austerity to the new forms of technocratic capitalism and the ever-increasing tendency toward authoritarian rule. e Marxist Summer School is open to everyone with an intellectual drive and revolutionary zeal and does not require any previous preparation. ere is a non-refundable registration fee of $100 and tuition is $500 weekly, the tuition includes a single occupancy hotel room (there can be reduced rates for those who want to share a room) and one communal meal each day. Students can register for a single week or both weeks. ere will be a maximum of 25 students in total; some nancial aid may be available for students on a need basis. Kasos is a very small island with about 800 residents. It has very little tourism and is an ideal location for engaging in collaborative study and radical thinking. ere are a few beaches in walking distance from where you will be staying as well as various small cafes, bars, and tavernas. ere are daily ights to Kasos from Rhodes and Karpathos, as well as multiple ferry boats from Piraeus each week (connecting through the islands of Crete, Rhodes, and Karpathos). Ferry boat tickets from Piraeus start at about 45 euros.
