Rather, insofar as they concern some aspect of Marx’s thinking, all kinds of contributions are welcomed, both within philosophy (ranging from Marxist studies to pragmatism, analytic philosophy, existentialism, phenomenology or any other area, tradition or school of thought) and within political theory, literature and art criticism, and the like. The following topics are indicative, but not restrictive:

• Architecture, Aesthetics, Economics, Literature, Politics, Religion, etc.
• The Poverty of Philosophy(1847),Capital(1867), etc.
• Alienation, Dialectics, Materialism, State, Revolution(s), Transition, etc.
