Mikkel Flohr

With the influx of new people on here, it makes sense to reintroduce myself. My name is Mikkel Flohr and I am currently working on a book on Marx’s critique of political theology and co-editing a special issue of Political Theology on “Marx and Revolution.”

We will be launching the Danish translation of David Graeber’s essay “On the Phenomenon of Bullshit Jobs” in Århus Thursday 5. November 17:00-19:00 at Æsken, Ny Munkegade 24, 8000 Århus. The text will be introduced in a conversation between @candmageloes.bsky.social, Æsken, myself, and the audience.

Yesterday there was a general assembly of staff and students at Roskilde University in response to the firing of professor Michelle Pace and the repression of the student movement in solidarity with Palestine. The assembly unanimously agreed on five demands incl. the reinstatement of Professor Pace.

Honorary doctors at Roskilde University have sent a public letter to the leadership of the university about the dismissal of professor Michelle Pace in the wake of her public criticisms of the genocide in Gaza, Danish anti-migration policies, and refusal to identify student activists

Co-wrote a piece [in Danish] on prison guard’s violence against incarcerated people in Denmark’s Prisons & the lack of accountability from the state and politicians. Prompted by a whistleblower and former prison guard’s allegations of regular beatings and destruction of evidence afterwards.

This is a really important article about my previous place of work, the suppression of Palestine solidarity movement at Roskilde University, and the firing of one of my colleagues last year.

This is a case worth following for anyone who cares about academic freedom. I hope the article will only be the beginning of an investigation into both the firing itself and the increasingly repressive measures taken up against work that in some vague sense is deemed ‘too political‘.

Calling all students and employees at RUC!

Roskilde University fired a professor for opposing genocide

Thank you 💕 With the final panels now underway it’s time to say a big thank you from the organisers for helping us turn the 11th conference into two unforgettable days of great papers, productive discussions, and wonderful conversations 🫶 See you again next year!

The first keynote of the 11th annual conference is underway: Eva von Redecker on “The Freedom to Stay. On Emancipation from Negative Liberty.”

THE PROGRAMME IS HERE 💥 The programme for the 11th conference is now ready and we are happy to share it with friend & foes of Danish Marxism alike! We look forward to seeing you all for two smashing days in Copenhagen with great presentations, keynotes, and socialising in just over a week 🥰

How do analogies between states and firms shape competing political and economic visions? I’m looking for a PhD researcher and a postdoc to help me explore this question in my new research project at Copenhagen Business School. Links below 👇

Information har desværre ladet sig skræmme af de økonomiske overdommere, når avisen kalder sænkelsen af fødevaremomsen for uklog. Prisen på mad er klassekamp – og derfor må vi ikke overgive os, skriver Eskil Halberg i denne klumme.

The new issue of “Kultur & Klasse” on Palestine is amazing. It contains brilliant texts by Sune Haugbølle and Maj Ørskov as well as translations of texts by Saree Makdisi, Ilan Pappé, Sami Khatib, Ariella Aïsha Azoulay, Gilles Deleuze, Franco Fortini Edward Said, and Salman Rushdie. Open access.
