Welcome to this third of our keynote lectures for Marx 13/13!

Eduardo Cadava and Sara Nadal-Melsió have created a masterpiece: an exquisite book that represents an experience in itself—an experience of reading, in collectivity, that opens us to a whole universe of solidarity, of critical thought, of praxis, of passion, of beauty. The book embodies a world of reading and writing, in three-dimensions, that gives life to a whole universe of practice: first, through a journey of reading the writings of Frederic Jameson, Walter Benjamin, Rosa Luxemburg, E.B. Du Bois, Cedric Robinson, and others, in conversation with the writings of Marx and Engels; second, though the creation of a community of critical thinkers and doers that we become part of as we enter this universe; and third, through an aesthetic experience that is perfectly curated with stunning reproductions of artwork, a spectacular book design, and a sensibility even to the touch, to the materials. In a new materialist way, this red book transforms the reader, the toucher, the thinker, the actor.
