Thinking Left Dissent

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The workshop sought to focus on three mutually interconnected motifs. 1) Whereas a wealth of literature interprets dissent in liberal terms, only marginal attention has so far been paid to aspects of dissent traditionally associated with the political Left. We therefore wished to fill this historiographical gap by drawing attention to dissident concepts that derive from other intellectual traditions, such as Marxist humanism, reform Communism, and the New Left, which have defined themselves in contrast to liberal visions of the socio-economic order. 2) At the same time, we also reflected on the limits of the political thought and political imagination of the time, which was shaped by the theoretical and political experience of official Marxism-Leninism. We asked whether left dissidents’ thought was intellectually consistent or internally contradictory, and to what extent it was affected by dissidents’ relative social and intellectual isolation. 3) Last but not least, we were interested in the relevance of the intellectual legacy of left dissent today. Should this legacy be seen as a mere relic of the past, necessarily tied to the existence of state-socialist regimes, or can it be a source of inspiration to those of us seeking ways out of today’s political, economic, and ecological crises?
