Tuesday 20th May, Queen Elizabeth Hall, London, 7:30pm Tickets: =A312 Our leading thinkers discuss the history and future of radical thought at this centrepiece event in the Southbank series 'All Power to the Imagination'. After the events of 1968 there was a dramatic rise in the popularity of radical theory, but in the 21st century it seems to be on the wane - is it still useful? Has its utopianism been found lacking after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the rise of neo-liberalism? Where is the next generation of radical thinkers? A distinguished panel of authors from Verso's acclaimed Radical Thinkers series discuss the context in which radical thought evolved in the 1960s and debate its future. PANELLISTS: Peter Dews, author of Logics of Disintegration: Poststructuralist Thought and the Claims of Critical Theory Ernesto Laclau, author of Emancipation(s) and On Populist Reason Jacqueline Rose, author of Sexuality in the Field of Vision and Last Resistance G=F6ran Therborn, author of What Does the Ruling Class Do When it Rules? and From Marxism to Post-Marxism? The event is chaired by Patrick Wright, author of Iron Curtain: From Stage to Cold War.
