A Review of: “TALKING ABOUT DEATH By Virginia Morris”

Partnerships at local and state levels between the aging and developmental disabilities establishments can positively affect the quality of operation of each. The two systems need to exchange experiences that benefit the clients and overcome obstacles, expand the range of offerings at senior centers, plan jointly for secure and permanent residences for dependent adults who lose caregiving parents, join forces to overcome bias and prejudice against their constituencies, and assert the rights of all people rather than to pit one group against another.

Marxism and commune‐ism: how do commune‐ists think?

Abstract

This paper will describe the insights we gained from the political, organizational or theoretical questions that were raised within Korea’s history of movements after the Kwangju Uprising in 1980. I will begin with the gains from the so‐called ‘debate on Social Formation’ in the 1980s and briefly introduce the fundamental questions on ‘modernity’ and some scholarships on the related issues through the dilemma and paradoxes Marxism was faced with after the collapse of socialism in 1990 and 1991. This paper will discuss the problems that members of the intellectual commune, Research Machine ‘Suyu+Trans’, dealt with in an attempt to practice new ways of life regarding the points at which Marxism and modernity were intertwined. I will then present the questions and concepts of Commune‐ism that replaced Communism, along with the theoretical resources that are called in to deal with them; and through this, a project that could reconfigure Marxism.
