There are some myths around abortion in Britain - that it's decriminalised (its not), that no-one is prosecuted (they are) and that there is no movement to restrict abortion (there is)

We look at how ignorance around abortion is maintained as an epistemic injustice and resisted by activists.

The Revolutionary Spirit: Hannah Arendt & Black Political Thought

A conference at the Hannah Arendt Center for Politics & Humanities, Bard College – March 27-28, 2025

Feat. a keynote by Prof. Neil Roberts & a talk by Prof. Ainsley LeSure
bit.ly/HACSpring25
Call for abstracts In On Revolution, Hannah Arendt celebrated what she called “the revolutionary spirit”: a set of political principles that combines a commitment to invent new institutions with a concern for those institutions’ durability. Arendt believed that all genuine revolutions in the modern world had been inspired by the revolutionary spirit, though “the failure of thought and remembrance” had, time and again, led to its disappearance. Indeed, a focus on the act of collective foundation—and a grave worry about the disappearance of the conditions under which such founding can take place—can be found across Arendt’s oeuvre, from Origins of Totalitarianism to her writings on American politics in the 1970s. Black revolutionaries working under conditions of extreme repression to transform the societies they inhabited also found they had to rework and reinvent revolutionary theory and praxis. Retelling the history of the Black liberation struggle and working alongside the decolonial movements of their day, thinkers like W.E.B. Du Bois, Frantz Fanon, and Kwame Ture—to name a few people whose work can be found in Arendt’s library—as well as C.L.R. James, Walter Rodney, Cedric Robinson, June Jordan, Angela Davis and many others—breathed new life into the concept of revolution. Like Arendt, these thinkers confronted a legacy of loss and disappointment. They also sought to reclaim from the history of revolutions past meaningful insights that might inspire and renew contemporary revolutionary movements. Arendt was often harshly critical of such movements, particularly those claiming the mantle of Black power. Nevertheless, in a testament to the power of Arendt’s ideas, a number of political thinkers working in the revolutionary tradition of Black political thought have found her a valuable thinking partner. This conference aims to bring together scholars engaged with—and in the spirit of—Hannah Arendt’s work in theorizing Black revolutionary politics, to address such questions as: How has the concern for beginning and durability animated Black political thought? What encounters between Arendt and Black political thinkers have been hitherto overlooked or misunderstood? How might concepts from within Black political thought illuminate the phenomena, events, and texts central to the Arendtian “archive” (e.g. the council system, 1956 Hungarian Revolution, or the work of Franz Kafka), and how might Arendt’s concepts illuminate revolutionary phenomena and events in the “archive” of Black political thought? How have the critical interventions of Black political thinkers challenged or enhanced our understanding of Arendt’s theory of revolution and vice versa? Where, if anywhere, do we find the revolutionary spirit today? Please submit abstracts to this Google Form (bit.ly/HACSpring25) by December 1st, 2024. We encourage submissions from early-career scholars. Acceptances will be communicated by January 6th, 2025. Conference participants will be expected to pre-circulate papers by March 14th, 2025. We encourage prospective participants to seek external financial support for travel and lodging, as HAC has very limited funds to provide such support. Please reach out to jfeldman@bard.edu with any questions you may have.

For the day that's in it, we're sharing Mary Magdalene The Wren (2021) by Amanda Coogan, which references not just Mary Magdalene, but the Wrens of the Curragh, Christian and pagan ritual, Wren Boys, and the eye of providence.
