Dr. Elena Louisa Lange is a Senior Researcher and Lecturer of Japanese Studies at the University of Zurich. Her current research focuses on the reception of Marx's Critique of Political Economy in 20th century Japan, and especially on the critical analysis of its interpretation in the influential economist Uno Kôzô (1897-1977). She views her work roughly situated in the reconstruction movement of the Critique of Political Economy today known as the "Neue Marx-Lektüre" (especially the work of Helmut Brentel) and the legacy of critical Hegelian Marxism. Her teaching broadly covers the intellectual history of modern Japan, with an emphasis on modern philosophy, sociology (critical theory), the history of Marxism, postmodernism, the student and the New Left movement. Joshua Depaolis is an independent researcher on Marxist theory and an editor at an upcoming journal called CounterAttack which was also the name of an anti-communist journal in the 1940s and 50s.
