The latest issue of art & theory journal e-flux<\/a> is on the “postcapitalist self”<\/a>, a term taken from J. K. Gibson-Graham’s brilliant work on postcapitalist politics<\/a>. It features an insightful interview<\/a> with commons theorists Massimo De Angelis and Stavros Stavrides.<\/p>\n

The issue is dedicated to Julie Graham, one half of the Gibson-Graham writing duo, who, sadly, died of cancer back in April of this year. See here<\/a> and here<\/a> for tributes. Gibson-Graham are best known for The End of Capitalism (as We Knew It): A Feminist Critique of Political Economy<\/a> and its follow-up, A Postcapitalist Politics<\/a>. I’ve always thought of them as a kind of female\/feminist analogue to Deleuze & Guattari: their work captures the antiessentialism of D & G, but is more grounded in the real-life struggles of women and communities around the world.<\/p>\n

Katherine Gibson continues to work and write<\/a>. But Graham’s death was a bit of a shock to those who thought they were developing one of the most promising political theories around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
