The 2018 Phyllis Clarke Memorial Lecture, "Four Theses on the Comrade," 
will be delivered by Dr. Jodi Dean, the Donald R. Harter '39 Professor 
of Humanities and Social Sciences at Hobart and William Smith Colleges 
in Geneva, New York.

Crucial to the global excitement generated by the October Revolution was 
the promise and possibility of new forms of relationship, new ways of 
being human. The Revolution heralded an end to relations of hierarchy 
and domination and the beginning of new relations of comradeship and 
solidarity. This paper focuses on the comrade as a term of address, 
figure of political relation, and carrier of expectations for action. It 
presents four theses on the comrade, emphasizing the genericity and 
interchangeability of the comrade. It argues that this genericity, the 
sameness of those on the same side, provides a way through the impasse 
of systems and survivors prominent on the contemporary left.

Everyone welcome!
