InterCcECT

Even after a long, intense, Hot Adorno Summer, we still can’t let go. Hang on to Hegel with a session on Adorno’s Three Studies. We’ll tackle the third study, Skoteinos, or How to Read Hegel, for Thursday September 25th, at 4pm. Lincoln Park Public Library Large Meeting Room (1150 W Fullerton Ave).

The year’s slate is open! As theory nerds confront back-to-school, be in touch with proposals for events. InterCcECT hosts mini-seminars, field trips, book talks, works-in-progress sessions, and reading groups, as well as hitherto unimagined formats. Contact us to propose events.

On our calendar:

Oct 29: What’s Funny About Student Debt? A conversation with novelist Kashana Cauley about her excellent new book The Payback, with Anna Kornbluh and Jason Wozniak of The Debt Collective

It’s been a long hot humid haul, and the cool kids triumphantly conclude on Wednesday, 13 August, 4pm, in full festivity at Moody’s. Finish the book!

First session: read the Introduction (pages 1-60, or as deep as you get).

Thursday 22 May, 4pm, Sheffield’s Beer Garden (outside).
