We are circulating the attached call for articles dealing with the 150th Anniversary of the publication of ‘Das Kapital’.
We are particularly interested on a critical study related to the first Yiddish translation published in New York, 1917/18. This is perhaps one of the most demanding of the versions of Marx’s major work; it requires a thorough knowledge of [pre-reformed] Yiddish and of the German language. To control the lexicographic characteristics of this rendering, a command of the political/ideological discourse of the Bund, German and Russian Social Democracy and of the Anarchist movement in Europe and in the US is essential. This translation asks for an understanding in depth of the political, economic and cultural institutions of the Yiddish speaking worker in the US during the historic moment that extends from the 1890’s to the ‘Red Scare’.
Radical Footnotes is an independent typographic space committed to bring forward the printed expression of the Working Class. You are invited to submit a short discourse addressing problems, analyzing developments, points of contention, methodologies, approaches and insights concerning:
