*Soviet Cosmologies and Ontologies, 1960s-1970s*<br>
<br>
/Marie Curie Foundation Symposium, Individual Fellowship, Horizon 2020<br>
Hosted by the Institute for Modern and Contemporary Culture, University of<br>
Westminster in conjunction with the Faculty of Arts, University of<br>
Wolverhampton/<br>
<br>
There is a tendency in revisiting the narratives of historical socialism to<br>
focus on the early revolutionary avant-garde and repressive<br>
post-revolutionary contexts of Soviet cultural politics, or on the<br>
destructive legacy of Stalinism and the dissident cultural non-conformisms it<br>
produced. This generates a very familiar teleology of state oppression, in<br>
which everything is subject to the instrumental logic of Stalinism. Yet,<br>
paradoxically, the political economy of the Soviet Union in the aftermath of<br>
this repressive teleology in the 1960s and the 1970s – the years that in<br>
the historiography of socialism become the embodiment of both the Khrushchev<br>
Thaw and the Brezhnevite stagnation – is underwritten by its explicit<br>
counter-capitalist sociality. This is because it was precisely in these years<br>
that the residual utopian imaginaries of the communist tradition were able to<br>
find a becalmed and reflective (albeit, materially impoverished) place in the<br>
would-be socialist relations of Soviet production. As such, these utopian<br>
imaginaries became attached to a series of radical humanist interventions<br>
into the problems of labour, sexuality, power, gender, language, culture, the<br>
unconscious, cognition, reality, the universal, etc., in a context in which<br>
the non-libidinal character of post-capitalist political economy became a<br>
defining feature of this becalmed, reflective context. The result was the<br>
production of new ontologies and lexicons of emancipation, despite the fact<br>
that 'state socialism' was in its decline. This one-day conference aims to<br>
map these ontologies and heterodox socialist critiques in order to inquire as<br>
to whether they have any viability in the context of philosophy and critical<br>
theory today.<br>
