Exigency of Time: A Conversation with Harry Harootunian and Moishe Postone

Professors Harootunian and Postone were in Taiwan in June 2012 to give keynote addresses at the International Workshop “Marxisms in East Asia” organized by National Chiao Tung University. Upon the invitation of Concentric, they participated in this open forum with local scholars, Professors Liu, Wang, and Tu, as well as Professor Murthy from the US. The forum, held on the morning of June 11 at National Taiwan Normal University, lasted for two hours, and the conversation was continued over lunch for another ninety minutes or so. The transcript here represents about half of what was discussed.
