Alien Life: Marx and the Future of the Human

ALIEN LIFE: MARX AND THE FUTURE OF THE HUMAN

My article, Alien Life: Marx and the Future of the Human, is now available at Academia.

It was published as:
Rikowski, G. (2003) Alien Life: Marx and the Future of the Human, Historical Materialism: Research in Critical Marxist Theory, Volume 11 Issue 2, pp.121-164.

It was a polished and heavily edited version of a paper I presented a few years earlier at one of the Birkbeck College Seminars on Marx, Individuals & Society, run by the late Cyril Smith: Marx and the Future of the Human (2000).

For those interested in the interface of Marxism and Post/Trans-humanism, my article Education, Capital and the Transhuman may also be of value.
This article is also at Academia, at:

Also of interest on this theme is Planet of the Capitorg

Time and Speed in the Social Universe of Capital

TIME AND SPEED IN THE SOCIAL UNIVERSE OF CAPITAL

This is the title of an article by Michael Neary and Glenn Rikowski which came out in Social Conceptions of Time: Structure and Process in Work and Everyday Life, edited by Graham Crow and Sue Heath, and published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2003.

Time and Speed in the Social Universe of Capital can now be found at Glenn Rikowski’s ‘Academia’ account.


This article was an edited version for publication based on a paper presented at the British Sociological Association Annual Conference 2000, at the University of York: The Speed of Life: The significance of Karl Marx’s concept of socially necessary labour-time, by Michael Neary and Glenn Rikowski.
