Critical Times 3:2 Cover


CRITICAL TIMES 7:2


Now available online through Duke University Press

This issue of Critical Times features a special section on relations beyond colonial borders. Assembling interventions from scholars, activists, poets, and artists, it asks how we can think movement and inhabitation without reproducing the political and legal frameworks that the modern border regime solidifies. Contributions to the issue also include a critical reading of Peter Sloterdijk’s philosophical spherology, a critical phenomenology of collective memory, a set of theoretical reflections on recent claims that we are witnessing  neoliberalism’s “end,” and a novel reading of Palestinian resistance as a “formless” anticoncept.

In the Midst | Blog

"In the Midst" conveys the difficulties of writing during critical times, and registers the importance of writing from within concrete, unfolding situations, of staying with the troubles of the moment, of thinking from particular grounds, and of allowing for responsive, experimental, and tentative interventions.

 


Critical Times, a project of the International Consortium of Critical Theory Programs, is a peer reviewed open access journal published by Duke University Press with the aim of foregrounding encounters between canonical critical theory and various traditions of critique emerging from other historical legacies, seeking to highlight the multiple forms that critical thought takes today.


Critical Times seeks to reflect on and facilitate the work of transnational intellectual networks that draw upon critical theory and political practice across various world regions. Calling into question hemispheric epistemologies in order to revitalize left critical thought for these times, the journal publishes essays, interviews, dialogues, dispatches, visual art, and various platforms for critical reflection, engaging with social and political theory, literature, philosophy, art criticism, and other fields within the humanities and social sciences.
