Space for this event is limited PLEASE RSVP: contact@thecapilanoreview.ca

SEMINAR DESCRIPTION: Anne Boyer will present an interpretive index of the approximately 107 references to women, girls, and women-like things in Capital, Volume 1. These include the wanton, the repulsive, the horny, the dying, the infanticidal, the fatally influenced, the independence loving, the commodity-like, and the economically predatory. She will also touch on communard approaches to cooking and post-housework imaginaries, and open up a discussion focused on round-about and disobedient modes of reading.

POTLUCK DESCRIPTION: Bring something edible to share if you can! A full kitchen will be available for refrigerating and/or reheating if needed.

Bring $5 cash if you'd like to buy a 2016 David Ogilvie wall calendar that is perfect.
