"Mapping Critical Theory Today"
Razmig Keucheyan
Public Lecture
March 17, 2015
ABSTRACT:
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 - marxists, feminists, postcolonial theorists, ecologists... - across the world have produced important and innovative ideas. In this conference, we will reflect on the global cartography of the expanding intellectual field of critical contemporary thought. We will try to make sense of the current intellectual conjuncture, and situate thinkers and their theories in a broader historical and sociological perspective.
