During the academic year 2019–2020, we will focus on the notions of pericapitalism and postcapitalism.
We will start by reading and discussing Anna Tsing’s The Mushroom at the End of the World: On the Possibility of Life in Capitalist Ruins (Princeton University Press, 2017), which develops the concepts of pericapitalism and salvage accumulation. The book is available in the university library as an ebook as well as a printed copy.
