>is a sequel to an Anglo-French conference on 'Returns to Marx' held in

>London in June 2002. The purpose is to revisit certain strands of the

>Marxist tradition in the light of the phenomenon of globalisation and the

>various 'anti-capitalist' movements that have grown up in opposition to it.

>Francophone readers of Marx. The recent work of Jacques Derrida, especially

>Specters of Marx and Marx & Sons, will be a central focus of discussion.
