SUMMARY:9 to 5: an International Women's Day Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Grab a seat and pour yourself a cup of ambition for our special International Women’s Day screening of 9 to 5! Join Dolly Parton\, Jane Fonda\, and Lilly Tomlin in making boss-napping great again in this comedy classic about women office workers at the dawn of the ’80s. The themes of sexism and work taken up by the film are as relevant as ever\, particularly in light of the#metoo movement and the growing attention to sexual harassment and violence in the workplace. Stay after the screening for a brief discussion of feminism\, labour\, and what we can do to bring about meaningful change. \n

SUMMARY:The Capitalism Workshop: Rethinking Contemporary Anti-Capitalism
DESCRIPTION:Uneven and combined development remains crucial for understanding the continued widening and deepening of capitalism. However\, the nature of the heterogeneous and uneven development of contemporary capitalism\, especially since the 1970s\, makes problematic the characterization of capitalist totality\, as a coherent stage and as a singular\, albeit uneven\, combination. This complicates the successful pursuit of anti-capitalism\, which now requires varied but interrelated responses at all scales and involving a range of approaches\, from local community activism and non-capitalist alternatives to mass Leninist-inspired parties and an international socialist movement. Thus\, a far more uneven anti-capitalism is appropriate; and a single\, overarching anti-capitalist process such as Permanent Revolution may not be the only or way forward. This is not an argument for a post-Marxist horizontal heterogeneity; but rather an exploration of the reasons and possibilities for a dialectical anti-capitalism\, where beneficial encounters occur across the arc of anti-capitalism\, within which proletariat mobilization remains a central component. Such confluence offers one starting point for contending with the perennial duality of reform and revolution\, manifest today in the either/or of an anti-capitalism of total revolution and an agonistic\, fractional post-Marxist politics working to reduce oppression and hardship within capitalism. \nRobert Latham is an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at York University. His research includes political economy\, critical theory\, the politics of new media\, and trans-national politics. Latham recently co-organized the “Augmenting the Left” symposium and his most recent book is The Politics of Evasion: A Post-Globalization Dialogue Along the Edge of the State. \nRSVP to attend: thecapitalismworkshop@gmail.com \nthecapitalismworkshop.com

SUMMARY:FilmSocial: Poverty and the Welfare State\, Then and Now
DESCRIPTION:Ken Loach’s award winning newest film I\, Daniel Blake (2016)\, brilliantly exposes the discipline\, humiliation and frustration which people who rely on welfare benefits are subjected to in contemporary Britain. To coincide with its Toronto release\, we are showing Cathy Come Home (1966)\, Loach’s first great film on this subject\, made exactly 50 years earlier. \nCathy Come Home is the story of Cathy\, a working class woman who loses her home\, husband and her child as result of an inflexible British welfare state. Ken Loach’s hard hitting realist drama takes on the social problems of poverty and homelessness in mid-sixties London. At the time of its launch\, one critic described the film as “an ice-pick in the brain of all who saw it.” \nHalf a century on\, poverty and homelessness persist in cities all over the world. These problems are acute in Toronto\, the “inequality capital of Canada.” Campaigns against regressive government policies that adversely affect the working poor and homeless are urgent and growing. \nWhat does Cathy Come Home tell us about capitalism\, poverty and the welfare state\, back then\, and now? \nDiscussant: John Clarke\, from the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty (OCAP)
