About this event

* Tickets for the zoom webinar have sold out, but you can watch the YouTube livestream here *

The COVID-19 crisis has brought political nature into full view. In this roundtable, Fahim Amir (Being & Swine), Troy Vettese (Half-Earth Socialism), and Stephen F. Eisenman (The Cry of Nature) speak with Jules Gleeson (Transgender Marxism, forthcoming) about the nature of capitalism and capitalist natures, and pivotal role animals play in revolutionary social change.

***

Fahim Amir is a Viennese philosopher and author. He has taught at various universities and art academies in Europe and Latin America. His research explores the thresholds of natures, cultures and urbanism; art and utopia; and colonial historicity and modernism. His book Being & Swine is avaliable from Between the Lines books.

“Amir reveals a world where animals are seen with different eyes—not the consumer gaze, laced with pity, indifference, and violence, but as equal resisting agents in the struggle. A promise of a future where pigs, and those of fur, fin, feather, and feelers, resist the machine of capitalist oppression. Fanciful? No. This beautiful book is a sorely needed reminder that human speciesism has cancelled other animals from the resistance, when they resisted all along.”
—SUE COE, artist and author of Dead Meat

Troy Vettese is an environmental historian and currently a post-doctoral fellow at Harvard University. His book, Half-Earth Socialism, co-authored with Drew Pendergrass, will be published by Verso in the spring of 2022.
