“From Marx to Global Marxism”
Kerstin Knopf, Detlev Quintern (Eds.)
From Marx to Global Marxism: Eurocentrism, Resistance, Postcolonial Criticism
In our 21st century, the works of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels are still widely taught, hotly debated, and adapted to different political and sociological contexts and theories. Today the "spectre of communism" haunts not only Europe, as assumed by the authors of the Manifest of the Communist Party in 1848, but the world as a whole. After Marxism achieved statehood on the ruins of the Tsarist Empire as the consequence of the Russian Revolution in October 1917, revolutionary independence movements in Asia, Africa, and the Americas introduced new and varied readings of the socialist classics in the 20th century. This collection of articles, by contributors from across the globe, discusses Marxism based on Marx's and Engels's ideas and oeuvre from transnational perspectives that connect Germany and Europe for example with Brazil, Canada, Egypt, Ghana, India, Iran, Israel, Palestine, Russia, and Turkey. With a critical postcolonial approach, the pluri-versal debates look at the heritage of Karl Marx (and Friedrich Engels) in the context of histories of resistance, analytical thought, theory building, a latent Euro-centric outlook, and the 'discursive monument' Marxism.

Creole Languages in Diasporic Contexts. Language Biographies and Plurilingual Identities
This volume represents a selection of the talks given at the International Symposium on “Language biographies and plurilingual identities in diasporic contexts“ (University of Bremen, March 28th-March 31st 2022). While plurilingual contexts and language contacts resulting from migrational movements have received increasing attention in linguistics over the past years, the particularities of language contact and linguistic developments in diasporic contexts have not yet been extensively studied. This is particularly true with regard to creole languages – even though the majority of creole speakers live in diasporic contexts. Based on the discussion of concrete case studies, this volume seeks to provide impulses from creole studies to the research field of 'migration and diaspora'. At the same time, it contributes to anchoring diaspora research in creole studies, thus focusing on the topics of globalization and transnational mobility, which have been widely neglected in creole studies so far. The contributions at hand comprise different philologies. They represent different approaches and questions relating to diaspora studies and discuss different English- and Romance-based creole languages from different geographical regions. Thus, a rather comprehensive illumination of a promising new field of research is provided and the need to bring together fields and approaches which have been applied independently of one another so far is highlighted.
