November 12 – 10:00 am – 12:00 pm CMT
The Secretariat of Research, Open Science, and Postgraduate Studies of the Faculty of Political and Social Sciences at UNCUYO invites you to a guided interview with Jairus Banaji, as part of the Latin American Sociology course in the Sociology program, taught by Dr. Fernanda Beigel. This event is designed as a formative experience for our students: a direct dialogue with one of the most original Marxist historians of recent decades, on issues that deeply permeate the tradition of Latin American social thought. Banaji's work uniquely combines empirical archival research with theoretical elaboration: from his intervention in the debate on modes of production in India and his studies on the Deccan peasantry in the 19th century, to his research on agrarian relations in Late Antiquity (Agrarian Change in Late Antiquity) and his essays collected in Theory as History. His theses are deliberately heterodox and, for that very reason, highly productive for sociological training. This meeting aims to connect his work with the Latin American debate on modes of production from the 1960s and 70s (Gunder Frank, Laclau, Assadourian, Cardoso, among others), whose questions (feudalism or capitalism, forms of coercive labor, integration with the global market) resonate directly with his research.
