DESCRIPTION:Throughout the history of Western thought\, the body has often
  been overlooked\, devalued\, or treated with mistrust and hostility. The
  failure to fully acknowledge human corporeality and its entanglement wit
 h the rest of nature is deeply connected to contemporary ecological crise
 s\, and has since the 1980s been subjected to a thorough-going critique b
 y scholars across the humanities and social sciences. In this “corporeal 
 turn\,” Marx and the Marxist tradition has frequently been dismissed as i
 rrelevant and outdated. In this talk\, I will argue that Marx's writings 
 on the body have been underestimated and that a critical reconstruction o
 f his analysis\, when combined with insights from recent Marxist feminist
  and eco-Marxist scholarship\, can offer valuable perspectives on the rel
 ationship between the human body and the historically unique forms of imp
 ersonal domination that sustain capitalism and obstruct efforts to addres
 s the cascade of contemporary ecological crises.\n\n[b]About Søren Mau[/b
 ]\nSøren Mau (b. 1989) finished his PhD in Philosophy in 2019 at the Univ
 ersity of Southern Denmark and has since held postdoc positions at the Un
 iversity of Copenhagen\, Goldsmiths University of London\, and Aarhus Uni
 versity. His PhD dissertation was published as [i]Mute Compulsion: A Marx
 ist Theory of the Economic Power[/i] (Verso Books\, 2023)\, which has bee
 n published in four languages\, with three more forthcoming in 2025. His 
 research focuses on critical theories of capitalism\, power\, the body\, 
 human nature\, and utopian thought\, with the central theme of freedom: i
 ts nature and sources\, the political and economic barriers to its realiz
 ation under contemporary capitalism\, and its potential forms in a post-c
 apitalist world.\n\n[i]The lecture is organized by the Danish Institute f
 or Advanced Study in collaboration with SDU’s Centre for Human Interactiv
 ity and Centre for Mobilizing Post-Anthropocentric Climate Action.[/i]\n\
 n[b]Venue[/b]\nThe DIAS Auditorium\, SDU Campus Odense\n\n[i]This event i
