Marxism(s) and Postmarxism(s)

In the 150th anniversary of the Communist Manifesto contemporary reflection on Marxism appears generally less assured and more speculative. Undermining the univocal tradition and the search for the one true message of Marx, a number of texts take for granted the idea of a basic heterogeneity in Marx; a multiplicity of voices, spirits, philosophies and so on. Moreover, the traumatic dislocations between the promises of nineteenth-century Marxism and their twentieth-century actualizations have tended to open up spaces for more creative forms of intellectual engagement.
