On December 12 from 18:00 at tranzit.ro/Cluj we are holding a reading seminar on Alexandr Bogdanov’s Tektology (Chapters 1 and 2). The seminar continues the project started with last year’s Reading Ilyenkov: a critical-philosophical examination of the origins and later developments of Eastern Marxism. A prolific and original thinker, Bogdanov opened multiple paths for critical inquiry—ranging from organizational theory and proto-cybernetics to science-fiction and Proletkult—while grounding his project in a distinctive, idealist rereading of Kant. Today, Bogdanov is experiencing a renewed international interest. The seminar will explore the reasons for this resurgence and critically examine his contributions. The December edition’s topic is the managerial views of Alexandr Bogdanov. The conveners of the seminars are Siyaveș Azeri and Alex Cistelecan, and events will be held in English.Find the text at the following link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oxvk3bcOPSYH9cIv_VRx2IqJPeuly9Q1/view?usp=share_link
