Next year will mark the 150th anniversary of the publication of Karl Marx’s Das Kapital. Methodically describing the workings of capitalism and class, Das Kapital has inspired countless theorists, philosophers, and revolutionaries, as well as skeptics. Capital remains as relevant today as it was in 1867.

On the occasion of this anniversary, Lateral seeks articles, essays, and critiques of what has become one of the foundational texts of cultural studies and one of the most influential books in the past century and a half.

The editors invite interventions related to

Marxism’s historical legacy
The development and dissemination of Marxism as a school of thought, political theory, and revolutionary practice
The Frankfurt School
The Birmingham School
Black Marxism
Marxist Feminism
Inter- and Transnational Marxisms
Capital’s influence on movements such as unions, gender liberation, queer liberation, black liberation, workers’ and poor people’s liberation, anticolonialism and national liberation, and more
Contemporary radical politics
The future of Marxist thought and action
and other topics broadly related to Capital and Marxism.
In addition to full-length articles (4,000–9,500 words), the editors invite discussions from those working on colloquia, conferences, courses, and other events and resources in this area. Please be in touch about publishing materials as part of this special issue.

Submissions due by April 15, 2017 for publication online in November 2017. For submission guidelines, see http://csalateral.org/wp/contribute. Early submissions are encouraged and inquiries are welcome.
