Critical Theory Under Pressure: Building Networks for Transnational Dialogue (CritUP)
Spokespersons: Prof. Dr Robin Celikates (Freie Universität Berlin), Prof. Dr Rahel Jaeggi (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin)
In order for critical theory to live up to its double claim of explaining the present and its crises as well as contributing to social change, it is essential that it expands its frame of reference beyond the Global North and expands its conceptual resources in the face of global challenges.
CritUP (Critical Theory Under Pressure) aims to build a sustainable transnational network and corresponding platform for the exchange of forms of critical theory articulated in different world regions.
