The works of Karl Marx and Michel Foucault circulate throughout contemporary critical discourses concerned with libratory practice, informing ethical dissent. Both thinkers excavate the present through historical analysis attentive to dynamics of power, utilizing thought to expand space for critical reflection and social resistance. How might we use their thought to think the present in ways that facilitate creative intervention for justice that sustains diverse worlds and interrupts the normalization and violence of dominance How might close readings of their works, and contemporary scholarship in conversation with their thought, enable new relations to questions of race, gender, class, power, sexuality, heteronormativity, colonialism/"post"coloniality, culture, and social change How might this enable a (re)thinking of justice, of selfdetermination,of legacy
