class="first">Many Dimensions of Marcuse

Post by HerbM » Mon Nov 30, 2020 7:15 am

Marcuse enthusiasts will be interested to know that there was a 2-day conference at Brandeis University in 2014 called The Many Dimensions of Herbert Marcuse. (Marcuse taught at Brandeis from 1954 to 1965.)
Brandeis maintains a webpage for the conference archiving videos of more than 30 presentations:

Of particular interest are the 2 keynote lectures:

Day 1) Martin Jay - Irony and Dialectics: One-Dimensional Man at Fifty
Day 2) Douglas Kellner - One-Dimensional Man: Relevance Across the Decades

Also of interest is Marcuse's son, Peter Marcuse, who appears in the welcome video speaking about one-dimensionality (time mark 13:30, if you want to skip ahead):
