21st of April 2017: PURE BONUS: Alt Går Bra: The National Question

BIT Teatergarasjens podcast

In his 1913 publication, The National Question, Joseph Stalin elaborated the first Marxist conceptualization devoted to nationality. Stalin’s work embraced Russia’s plurality of nations and ethnicities, later materialized in the Soviet Union’s policies that could be termed today as multicultural. In 2017, the year of the one-hundredth anniversary of the Soviet Union, the national question is perhaps one of the most prominent issues in current national and international politics: refugees, Trump, Brexit, and NATO being a few examples. In this performative lecture, Alt Går Bra deploys tools from Hegel’s Science of Logic, categorical and propositional logic to analyze the national question through contemporary political discourses. www.altgarbra.org PURE BONUS is supported by Fritt Ord (the Freedom of Expression Foundation) and the City of Bergen
