Sheffield Marx Memorial Lecture

Reviving Sheffield's Annual Marx Memorial Lecture, one year at a time

[Sheffield Marx Memorial Lecture @MarxLecture]

Forty years ago today, Sheffield City Council organised a Marx Memorial Lecture to remember the life and works of the great philosopher on the anniversary of his death.

We have now obtained a digitised copy of the 1983 lecture, delivered by the incredible Stuart Hall.

Marx Memorial Lectures were one facet of a South Yorkshire's approach to resist Thatcherism and build a municipal socialist alternative.

Truly inspiring event watching this 1983 Stuart Hall lecture last night. Great initiative from local activists @JoeBrindle_ and @min_esh to revive the archive footage. Lots of practical and theoretical food for thought.

🗣️ "I am happy to contribute a touch on the side of the subversive ideas, by taking part in an occasion that recognises the immensity of Marx contribution to our thinking."
