MARX MARX RELOADED
RELOADED
By Jason Barker
MARX RELOADED is a cultural
documentary that examines the relevance
of German socialist and philosopher Karl
Marx's ideas for understanding the global
economic and financial crisis.
The recent crisis triggered the deepest
global recession in 70 years and prompted
the US government to spend more than 1
trillion dollars in order to rescue its banking
system from collapse. Today the full
implications of the crisis in Europe and
around the world still remain unclear.
Nevertheless, should we accept the crisis
as an unfortunate side-effect of the free
market? Or is there another explanation
as to why it happened and its likely effects
on our society, our economy and our
whole way of life?
Today a new generation of philosophers,
artists and political activists are returning
to Marx's ideas in order to try to make
sense of the crisis and to consider whether
a world without or beyond capitalism is
possible. Is the severity of the ongoing
recession a sign that the capitalist
system's days are numbered? Ironically,
20 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall,
could it be that communism might provide
the solution to the growing economic and
environmental challenges facing the
planet?
Written and directed by Jason Barker –
himself an experienced writer, lecturer,
translator and doctor of philosophy –
MARX RELOADED includes interviews
with leading thinkers on Marxism,
including those at the forefront of a
popular revival in Marxist and communist
ideas. The film also includes interviews
with leading skeptics of this revival as well
as light-hearted animation sequences
which follow Marx's adventures through
the matrix of his own ideas.
Interviews with leading experts include:
Norbert Bolz, Micha Brumlik, John Gray,
Michael Hardt, Antonio Negri, Nina Power,
Jacques Ranciere, Peter Sloterdijk,
Alberto Toscano, and Slavoj Zizek.
