*Soviet Cosmologies and Ontologies, 1960s-1970s*

/Marie Curie Foundation Symposium, Individual Fellowship, Horizon 2020
Hosted by the Institute for Modern and Contemporary Culture, University of
Westminster in conjunction with the Faculty of Arts, University of
Wolverhampton/

There is a tendency in revisiting the narratives of historical socialism to
focus on the early revolutionary avant-garde and repressive
post-revolutionary contexts of Soviet cultural politics, or on the
destructive legacy of Stalinism and the dissident cultural non-conformisms
it
produced. This generates a very familiar teleology of state oppression, in
which everything is subject to the instrumental logic of Stalinism. Yet,
paradoxically, the political economy of the Soviet Union in the aftermath of
this repressive teleology in the 1960s and the 1970s – the years that in
the historiography of socialism become the embodiment of both the Khrushchev
Thaw and the Brezhnevite stagnation – is underwritten by its explicit
counter-capitalist sociality. This is because it was precisely in these
years
that the residual utopian imaginaries of the communist tradition were able
to
find a becalmed and reflective (albeit, materially impoverished) place in
the
would-be socialist relations of Soviet production. As such, these utopian
imaginaries became attached to a series of radical humanist interventions
into the problems of labour, sexuality, power, gender, language, culture,
the
unconscious, cognition, reality, the universal, etc., in a context in which
the non-libidinal character of post-capitalist political economy became a
defining feature of this becalmed, reflective context. The result was the
production of new ontologies and lexicons of emancipation, despite the fact
that 'state socialism' was in its decline. This one-day conference aims to
map these ontologies and heterodox socialist critiques in order to inquire
as
to whether they have any viability in the context of philosophy and critical
theory today.
