1917/2017 Revolutions, Communist Legacies and Spectres of the Future International Conference European University at Saint-Petersburg 6/1 Gagarinskaya street October 24-26, 2017 The conference working language is English

What is the meaning of the event of the 1917 revolutions for us today? What did 1917 open and what did it block? What are its legacies and what is the relation of 1917 to the perspective from which its legacies are assessed? We would like to speak particularly of the political, social, and intellectual legacy of 1917 which has not been sufficiently pronounced in comparison to the French revolution of 1789.

Does ‘revolution’ continue as a carrier for emancipatory egalitarian energies or has that possibility been fully foreclosed such that revolution now either appears as incompatible with democracy or as too much absorbed by the established regimes? What kinds of transformation does ‘revolution’ invoke and what are the limits of this imaginary? And is there anything like a revolutionary tradition of Modernity that would still continue? Or is there a beyond to revolution that escapes the dismal oppositions of reform or a retreat to personal life? Can we still dream of changing the world? What would it mean to break the continuity with capitalism in its current overwhelming forms of its ongoing crisis, debt and austerities? Will there be a pathbreaking revolution in the future? And if yes, would it fulfil 1789/1917, or produce a new unforeseeable sequence? Or we can see the tendencies already present in recent mass uprisings and revitalisation of party-based left politics?

The conference will take place on October 24-26, 2017. It will include plenaries and workshops. Participants will be international critical intellectuals, scholars who have recently contributed to the analysis of capitalist modernity, the theory of revolution, and the intellectual history of 1917.
