SUMMARY:The Word in Others' Mouths: Susan Rudy and Shelly Harder in conversation
DESCRIPTION:The Word in Others’ Mouths: Susan Rudy and Shelly Harder in conversation Susan Rudy and Shelly Harder come together to launch new chapbooks from Ottawa’s above/ground press.  \nRudy’s Consequences gathers a thousand sentences — from feminist theorists\, queer poets\, songs\, private conversations\, and decades of notebooks — stripping them of hierarchy and ownership\, letting Brossard and Bronski Beat and Butler sit side by side\, voices refracting across queer and trans thought\, motherhood\, desire\, and the ongoing problem of telling the truth about a body.  \nHarder’s pinion begins in the 2020 lockdowns. Alternating between narrative and lyric\, this collection explores isolation\, fragility\, and interconnection with humour and yearning. \nBoth books know that language was not built for us\, and both find forms that work anyway. This evening brings their authors into conversation about writing queerly\, playing at the edges of genre and gender\, and what it means to claim a word that began in someone else’s mouth. \nTHIS IS A FREE EVENT BUT PLEASE RSVP BELOW. \nShare this:  \n				Share on X (Opens in new window)  \n				X 				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)  \n				Facebook 				Share on Insta (Opens in new window)  \n				Insta  \n			Like this:Like Loading…

SUMMARY:BOOK TALK: Absolute Ethical Life: Michael Lazarus in conversation with Bruno Leipold
DESCRIPTION:Aristotle\, Hegel and Marx: Michael Lazarus In Conversation with Bruno Leipold Karl Marx gave us not just a critique of the political economy of capital but a way of confronting the impoverished ethical quality of life we face under capitalism. Interpreting Marx anew as an ethical thinker\, Absolute Ethical Life provides crucial resources for understanding how freedom and rational agency are impacted by a social world formed by value under capitalism\, with consequences for philosophy today. \nMichael Lazarus situates Marx within a shared tradition of ethical inquiry\, placing him in close dialogue with Aristotle and Hegel. Lazarus traces the ethical and political dimensions of Marx’s work missed by Hannah Arendt and Alasdair MacIntyre\, two of the most profound critics of modern politics and ethics. Ultimately\, the book claims that Marx’s value-form theory is both a continuation of Aristotelian and Hegelian themes and at the same time his most distinctive theoretical achievement. \nIn this normative interpretation of Marx\, Lazarus integrates recent moral philosophy with a historically specific analysis of capitalism as a social form of life. He challenges contemporary political and economic theory to insist that any conception of modern life needs to account for capitalism. With a robust critique of capitalism derived from the determinations of what Marx calls the “form of value\,” Lazarus argues for an ethical life beyond capital. \nMichael Lazarus will be joined in conversation with Bruno Leipold. We expect the conversation to last from around 45 minutes to an hour\, followed by an open discussion with the audience. \nOur Speakers: \nMichael Lazarus is Lecturer in Political Theory in the Department of Political Economy at King’s College London. Before coming to King’s\, he was Visiting Postdoctoral Fellow at Yale University and Deakin University Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Alfred Deakin Institute. He holds a PhD in Politics from Monash University. His research covers major themes and thinkers in political theory\, political economy and moral philosophy.Absolute Ethical Life: Aristotle\, Hegel and Marx\, published by Stanford University Press\, is his first book. He is currently working on a second book project related to the ideas of labour\, money and colonialism in Adam Smith and G.W.F. Hegel. In addition to his many scholarly publications\, he regularly writes for non-academic venues. \nBruno Leipold teaches at the London School of Economics. He works on the thought of Karl Marx\, the republican political tradition\, democratic theory and nineteenth-century political thought. He is the author of Citizen Marx (Princeton University Press\, 2024) and the co-editor of Radical Republicanism (Oxford University Press\, 2020). Before coming to the LSE\, he held post-doctoral positions at The New Institute\, the European University Institute and the Goethe University Frankfurt\, and he received his DPhil from the University of Oxford. \nAs always\, tickets are priced on a sliding scale. If you are unable to pay for a ticket please do not hesitate to contact us at shop@housmans.com\, and a free ticket will be made available. \nIf you choose ‘book + entry’ your copies of the book will be available to collect on the evening.

SUMMARY:BOOK LAUNCH: THE NEXT FIX by KOJO KARAM
DESCRIPTION:The question is no longer if we should legalise drugs. It’s: what happens when we do? \nThe future of drugs is here\, and it’s dangerously unequal. Over the last decade\, the status quo around drugs has collapsed. Drugs once sold as safe cures have been revealed as ineffective or dangerous\, while substances criminalised for generations are being reborn as breakthrough mental health treatments\, wellness supplements\, Silicon productivity tools and billion-dollar investment opportunities. How did this reversal happen — and who stands to benefit? \nJoin us as we welcome the brilliant Kojo Karam to Housmans to celebrate the launch of his essential\, brilliant and harrowing new book. In The Next Fix\, award-winning author Koram travels from Scotland to Colombia\, Ghana to the United States\, to uncover the forces reshaping the global drug landscape. Moving between glossy corporate cannabis expos to grassroots activist campaigns and the question of reparations\, he traces the growing tension between movements fighting for justice after decades of prohibition and the finance-world race to profit from a newly legal frontier. Will drug reform finally undo the racial violence\, environmental destruction and public health failures of the War on Drugs? Or will it simply open a new chapter in global capitalism\, creating a smooth transition from cartel barons to Wall Street oligopolies? \nUrgent\, moving and deeply reported\, The Next Fix asks whether the War on Drugs is really over – or merely changing its chemical formula. \n‘Brilliantly arranged and rich with fresh insights‘ Akala \n‘A radical\, beautifully written understanding of our history‘ Owen Jones \nKojo Koram is a Professor of Law\, author and investigative journalist. This year he co-founded a new global research centre at Loughborough University which will examine how drug markets are changing. Born in Ghana and raised on Merseyside\, he is now based in London. In addition to his academic work\, he regularly contributes to the Guardian and Novara Media and has also written for the New Statesman and NYT. He is the author of Uncommon Wealth (2022) which won the English PEN Hessell-Tiltman Prize\, was shortlisted for the Orwell Prize for Political Writing and the Bread and Roses Award for Radical Publishing and was a Guardian book of the year. \nKojo will read from the book\, followed by a discussion that should last for around 45 minutes. We will then have a q&a. The shop has limited space\, so please book ahead to avoid disappointment. \nAs always\, tickets are priced on a sliding scale. If you are unable to pay for a ticket please do not hesitate to contact us at shop@housmans.com\, and a free ticket will be made available. \nIf you choose ‘book + entry’ your copies of the book will be available to collect on the evening.

SUMMARY:BOOK LAUNCH: TURNING AWAY by BENJAMIN A. SALTZMAN
DESCRIPTION:A sweeping account of how we are at our most human when we turn away from the pains of the world. This is a work of breathtaking scholarship. We are delighted to welcome its author\, Benjamin A Saltzman\, to Housmans for its UK launch. He will be in conversation with Revd Dr Ayla Lepine. Why do we look away from the suffering of others? Why do we cover our faces in shame? Why do we lower our heads in grief? Few gestures are as universal as the averted gaze. Fewer still are as ambivalent and inscrutable. In this incisive study\, Benjamin A. Saltzman reveals how the kaleidoscopic appearance of these gestures in art\, poetry\, and philosophy has turned them into an essential language for our uncomfortable engagements with the world\, challenging us to reflect on the ways we fundamentally relate to others. \nInto the horizon of contemporary discourse\, Turning Away sets out from five influential scenes in which figures avert their gaze: Timanthes’s Sacrifice of Iphigenia\, Plato’s Republic\, Augustine’s Confessions\, Christ’s Crucifixion\, and the Fall and Expulsion of Adam and Eve. The gestures of aversion in these scenes refract across visual media\, through philosophy and politics\, into modernity and the present day\, having been reimagined along the way by thinkers like Hannah Arendt\, artists like Marc Chagall and Salvador Dalí\, poets like Langston Hughes\, and many others. Saltzman offers a timely critique of the privilege of turning away and of the too-easy condemnation of our tendencies to do so. \nAs always\, tickets are priced on a sliding scale. If you are unable to pay for a ticket please do not hesitate to contact us at shop@housmans.com\, and a free ticket will be made available. \nIf you choose ‘book +entry’ your copies of the book will be available to collect on the evening. If you would like to collect it earlier\, or arrange for delivery\, please contact us (postage is £2.95). Telephone 020 7837 4473 or email shop@housmans.com. \nDoors Open at 6:45pm\, Event Starts 7:00. \nShare this:  \n				Share on X (Opens in new window)  \n				X 				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)  \n				Facebook 				Share on Insta (Opens in new window)  \n				Insta  \n			Like this:Like Loading…

SUMMARY:Anarcho-Punk Launch with Seth Wheeler and Dunstan Bruce of Chumbawamba
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, June 18th\, 7pm onwards\, MayDay Rooms  \n   \nMayDay Rooms is pleased to launch its new Anarcho-Punk archive — a growing collection tracing how anarcho-punk helped reignite anarchism in Britain during the 1980s and 1990s.  \nAt a moment when anarchism appeared politically marginal and disconnected from everyday life\, anarcho-punk transformed it into a lived\, participatory culture rooted in DIY organisation\, direct action and collective experimentation. Through gigs\, zines\, benefit shows\, squats\, tape trading and self-organised networks\, a generation of young people translated anarchist ideas into something tangible\, immediate and accessible — building radical infrastructures that extended far beyond music itself.  \nDrawing on flyers\, posters\, correspondence\, recordings\, zines and ephemera\, the archive explores how bands and activists created new forms of political participation outside traditional institutions\, mobilising around anti-fascism\, animal liberation\, anti-war organising\, squatting and mutual aid. Music became a conduit for political action — reconnecting culture\, friendship and everyday survival to collective struggle.  \nTo mark the launch\, researcher Seth Wheeler will be joined by Dunstan Bruce of Chumbawamba for a conversation exploring punk’s impact on anarchist organising and radical politics during this period. The evening will also include archival material on display alongside a listening session of anarcho-punk recordings\, examining how these songs articulated political ideas\, built networks of solidarity and helped mobilise political support for a range of social movements.  \nTickets here

SUMMARY:The Brockley Anarchist Reading Club
DESCRIPTION:The Brockley Anarchist Reading Club is excited to dive into Rudolf Rocker’s foundational text\, Anarcho-syndicalism: Theory and Practice.   Rocker argues that workers hold the ultimate power to reshape society from the ground up. Rejecting both capitalist exploitation and state controlled socialism\, he lays out a vision where trade unions become instruments of direct action\, solidarity\, and ultimate liberation. Instead of abolishing labor\, Rocker challenges us to seize it\, transforming industry through workers’ self-management into a system that serves human needs rather than corporate profit.   All are welcome! Whether you are a lifelong anarchist or just beginning your journey\, join us to discuss how taking democracy into our own workplaces is a necessary   Meeting Details Book: Anarcho-syndicalism by Rudolf Rocker Date: Monday\, 22nd May 2026 Time: 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM  Location: The Brockley Brewery

SUMMARY:Reclaim the City of London: MayDay Rooms and Rebel Tours workshop and walking tour
DESCRIPTION:Join MayDay Rooms and Rebel Tours for a critical exploration of London’s financial district\, examining the banks and insurance companies complicit in financing weapons\, fossil fuels\, border violence and genocide\, while reflecting on the long histories of resistance to corporate power in the City.  \nThe event will take place in two parts: an afternoon workshop and an evening walking tour.  \nDuring the workshop (3–5 pm)\, we will delve into archival materials documenting struggles against privatisation\, financial power and the corporate takeover of public space in central London\, including Reclaim the Streets’ reissues of Financial Crimes\, produced around the mobilisation against the International Monetary Fund and World Bank Summit in Prague in September 2000\, and Evading Standards\, created for the 1999 “June 18th” Carnival Against Capital in the City of London. Together\, these materials offer a window into traditions of direct action\, counter-mapping and anti-capitalist organising that sought to disrupt the infrastructures of global finance.  \nTickets for the workshop (3-5pm) here  \nOn the walking tour (6–8 pm)\, we will trace the histories of financial institutions embedded in the City of London — many of which are deeply connected to the British Empire\, colonial extraction\, and enduring systems of global inequality. Moving through the banking district\, we will examine how contemporary finance continues to shape political violence\, ecological collapse and policed migration regimes across the world. With an eye to the archival workshop\, we will discuss the possibilities for resistance today.  \nTickets for the walking tour (6-8 pm) here

SUMMARY:The Anarchist* Walking Tour!
DESCRIPTION:*Illegalist\, Expropriator\, Anti-Organisational\, Intransigent  \nDuring the late 19th century\, a singular\, vital\, courageous and coherent minority of the anarchist movement – warriors of the idea\, intellectuals of dynamite – gathered in London. They were exiles not only from European regimes but also\, in many cases\, from authoritarian\, decadent and worm-eaten socialist and anarchist groups. They came here in order to finance and coordinate their revolutionary attacks on the tyrannical regimes of central\, eastern and southern Europe. Creating an informal network which organised robbery\, forgery\, production of propaganda and arms procurement for the preparation of global insurrection was their project\, night and day. These ‘foreigners’ were the enemies of every state\, they were incorrigible subversives who felt no gratitude whatsoever for their benevolent ‘hosts’\, the bourgeois democracy of England at the height of its bloody colonial power. On the contrary they were determined to continue their war against all oppression\, and that London’s capitalists would pay for it!  At 6pm on Friday 26th June\, we will gather on the corner of Windmill Street & Charlotte Street W1T 2LY to begin a tour (until late) of the sites where our comrades of not-so-long ago discussed\, ate\, loved and fought together\, sleeplessly sweated over the most incendiary publications and plotted their next audacious attacks.  In case it requires any clarification this event is the passion project of a few 21st century anarchists\, not historians or tour guides. We want to spread and savour the words and experiences these comrades left to us as we continue to struggle for a free and creative life for all\, to be grasped immediately by daring and guile.   Leave the phones\, technology and social media blabla out of it\, let’s live a little!  Leave the academic or journalist bullshit\, let’s come with our own ideas and desires! THEN AS NOW: DEATH TO THE STATE\, LONG LIVE ANARCHY!

Research is Poetry is a peer-to-peer learning event inviting Knots collaborators\, alumn\, and audiences to bring in essays\, slides\, poetry\, photography\, and other creative forms of research. We invite you to discuss history\, current events\, politics\, art\, and culture through a class-conscious lens using lived experience\, theory\, and research.  In an era of AI summaries and digital slop\, let’s remember that research is poetry\, and needs us to contextualise it.  Lineup to be released.

SUMMARY:Club Commons x Feminist Library Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an intergenerational queer conversation weaving together archival memory\, nightlife history\, and collective futures.   \nThis evening brings together three icons who shaped London’s lesbian and queer scenes from the 1980s and 90s to today: Katherine Griffiths\, DJ and researcher who participated in grassroots lesbian nightlife in London through the 80s and 90s; Yvonne Taylor of Sistermatic\, the pioneering Black lesbian sound system; and Gin of Nite Dykez\, DJ\, promoter\, and event producer\, all of whom feature in the book Club Commons: Moving Bodies to Grow Movements in Queer Nightlife and Beyond by Anjali Prashar-Savoie\, out now with Velocity Press.  \nAlongside the talk\, the naked souls oracle will be present to invoke queer clairvoyants of the past to help us resist gentrification of the heart and mind in the present. Drawing on histories unearthed from the 56A Infoshop and Southwark Archives\, Naked Souls is a deck of oracle cards/fortunes/spells\, that invokes obscure queer histories\, to chart alternative maps for our futures. It is playful and sometimes frivolous\, existing in a makeshift between poetry and instruction.  \nOriginal archival flyers from the 1980s and 90s will be on display throughout the evening.

SUMMARY:POETRY READING: ELLEN RENTON LAUNCHES 'YOU AND YOURS'
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening of poetry to mark the launch of Ellen Renton’s new pamphlet. You and Yours: \nSwinging across timelines and from the mundane to the surreal\, You and Yours is a study in grief: how it exists beyond seismic losses in the stories we inherit\, in shifting friendships\, and in uncertain landscapes. These poems celebrate the self as a malleable entity under the influence of all the lives it encounters\, and balance the pain that characterises the loss of a profound connection with the wonder of having it in the first place. \nAbout Ellen Renton: \nEllen Renton is a writer from Edinburgh. Her work has been published in journals including Poetry London\, Gutter\, and Magma\, and she released her debut pamphlet An Eye For An Eye For An Eye with Stewed Rhubarb Press. Her work in theatre has included the one-woman show Within Sight (2020)\, Disciples (2023)\, and PALS (in development in 2026). She has released an EP and the album My Noise is Nothing with electronic musician Lord of the Isles. She holds an MA in Creative Writing: Poetry from the University of East Anglia. \nPlease note this is an externally organised event.
