Der Forschungsbereich Poststructuralism, Gender Theory, Psychoanalysis versammelt aktuelle Forschungsaktivitäten und -projekte am Institut für Philosophie der Universität Wien zu zentralen Fragen der Gegenwartsphilosophie.
Methodisch und theoretisch greifen die im Forschungsbereich versammelten Forschungsansätze auf dekonstruktive, poststrukturalistische, psychoanalytische, phänomenologische, gendertheoretische, feministische, postmarxistische und performative Ansätze zurück, um diese Positionen sowohl kritisch zu befragen als auch an konkreten Problemlagen zu erproben und produktiv weiter zu entwickeln.
Der Forschungsbereich organisiert regelmäßig Vorträge, Workshops und Tagungen und kooperiert mit zahlreichen Institutionen und Partner_innen in einem interdisziplinären und internationalen Kontext. Darüber hinaus legt der Forschungsbereich großen Wert auf die wissenschaftliche Nachwuchsförderung und die Verankerung der Forschung in der Lehre an der Universität Wien.

Foucault and Marx. Ambivalences, Legacies, and Future Struggles
Foucault and Marx. Ambivalences, Legacies, and Future Struggles
International Symposium
18–19 October 2024
University of Vienna, Austria
The symposium aims to explore the tense relationship between Foucault and Marx and, on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of Foucault’s death in 2024, to put it into perspective with regard to Foucault’s intellectual legacy. Foucault is generally perceived as a harsh critic of Marxism, both in terms of its analytical possibilities and political dangers. This contrasts strongly not only with Foucault’s repeated emphasis on the centrality of Marx, but also with clear theoretical parallels. The subject of the symposium is therefore the question of how this ambivalence is to be understood, what it means for possible continuations of the Foucauldian project and to what extent the Foucault-Marx connection can be made fruitful for current and future questions.
The event takes place at the Department of Philosophy of the University of Vienna and is part of the World Congress Foucault: 40 years after which is coordinating over 50 events worldwide to mark the 40th anniversary of Foucault’s death in 2024.
Organizing Team: Eva-Maria Aigner, Ralf Gisinger, Christoph Hubatschke, Eva Jägle, Jonas Oßwald
