Critical Theories in a Time of Crisis
Résumé
As the crisis of capitalism unfolds, the need for alternatives is felt ever more intensely. A crucial battlefield, where the outcome of the crisis will in part be
decided, is that of theory. Over the last twenty-five years, radical intellectuals across the world have produced important and innovative ideas. The endeavour to transform the world without falling into the catastrophic traps of the past has been a common element uniting these new approaches. This talk will address the question of the cartography of the expanding intellectual field of critical contemporary thought.
