DESCRIPTION:*gloknos 'cum panis' seminar series – Ian Bruff (University 
 of Manchester)*\n\nAt this seminar in the cum panis series\, we are joined
  by Ian Bruff\, to discuss some of his current research. Dr Bruff is a lec
 turer of European Politics at the University of Manchester.\n\nAbstract:\n
 This talk makes the case against the widespread assumption that neoliberal
 ism is\, even if rather different in practice\, a worldview that is fundam
 entally about the valorisation of free markets. It does so by returning to
  canonical and theoretical texts across the Chicago\, Austrian and Ordolib
 eral approaches\, and argues that they are less interested in the promotio
 n of free markets than in the remaking of states and households in a manne
 r which is anti-democratic and denies the possibilities for social justice
 . The implications for our understanding and critiques of neoliberalism 
 – in theory and in practice – are considered\, as are prospects for re
 sistance and progressive societal transformation in the contemporary perio
 d. Finally\, drawing on Gramsci and Benjamin\, the notion of 'literary rhy
 thms' will be reflected on as a means for studying\, analysing and critiqu
 ing neoliberal texts. The talk relates to an ongoing book project and comm
 ents on any aspect of the talk will be gratefully received.\n\nAttendance
