Critical Times 7:1

Contributions to this issue of Critical Times reread Rosa Luxemburg in light of her staunch commitment to a Marxist theory of history; explore the possibility and impossibility for dialogue between Black aesthetics and Adornian aesthetics; and locate a collusion between ethnonationalism and antiblackness in Puerto Rican aesthetics. The issue also features a special section on "Reproductive Injustices" that moves across Argentina, Chile, Palestine, Poland, and the United States, departing from the liberal narratives of choice that often frame understandings of reproductive rights as it traces new conceptual frameworks and practices of feminism. Finally, the issue includes an exploration of mask wearing during the pandemic from a clinical perspective, as well as an artistic intervention by political illustrator and Hong Kong-dissident Justin Wong (Wong Chiu-Tat).
