message from the convenor A week from now will be the much-awaited conference of this year--the Marx Festival 2012. This conference, to be hosted by the Polytechnic University of the Philippines, is a gathering of intellectuals, political philosophers, economists and professors from different universities and colleges that aims to discourse academically Marxism, in terms of the anatomy of social movements exploring related topics like Social Justice, Hegelianism, Philosophy, Zizek, Derrida, Hardt and Critical Theories.
The idea of launching the Marx Festival was initiated by Director Virgilio A. Rivas (Institute of Social History-Research/Institute for Politics and Economics), Jeffrey Bartilet, and Jayson C. Jimenez to give a tribute to the unrelenting man whom we owe the great taste of freedom, change and pro-masses thinking, up-to-date. This man, who without him, our study of Philosophy would be regarded as futile, nothing and non-existent. Professor Amable Tuibeo, the founder of the Philosophy Department 20 years ago, valiantly defended the curriculum against its enemies deserves to receive a homage for his deeds. Through the coordination of the Department of the Humanities’ Chair, Dr. Josefina U. Parentela; PUP-Philosophy Alumni Association; and students not only from Philosophy but as well as from different departments who wanted to contribute to this special gathering, the Marx Festival 2012: A Tribute to Professor Amable Tuibeo promises to be a success, and a great historical event relative to PUP history (that as a poor man's university has been a part of wider calls for social justice) for which alone we all should be a part of.
