Tickets are now available for a Karl Marx Memorial Lecture screening at a city centre venue in Sheffield, with the viewing focussing on a renowned 1983 talk by famous sociologist Stuart Hall.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event will take place at the Union Street venue <\/a>in the heart of Sheffield, which champions all sorts of events from woodworking workshops to yoga classes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, the Union Street space will host a screening of a newly obtained, digitised lecture of Stuart Hall from all the way back in 1983 discussing the late Karl Marx. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This original talk was organised by Sheffield City Council to commemorate 100 years since Marx’s death and celebrate the philosopher’s life and works. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joe Brindle, a student at the University of Sheffield and organiser for this new screening, has taken inspiration from Sheffield’s radical past. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said: “I’ve been working with a few Sheffielders to put this together, we had the idea after learning about some of the really interesting things that Sheffield City Council did. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It’s pretty inspiring that the council once stood firmly against Thatcher by encouraging public education, declaring a nuclear-free zone, building a mass council houses and much more. I guess our goal is trying to bring back a bit of that radical spirit to Sheffield.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forty years ago today, Sheffield City Council organised a Marx Memorial Lecture to remember the life and works of the great philosopher on the anniversary of his death.

We have now obtained a digitised copy of the 1983 lecture, delivered by the incredible Stuart Hall. pic.twitter.com\/e31BWaooLR<\/a><\/p>— Sheffield Marx Memorial Lecture (@MarxLecture) March 14, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote>
