Critical Times 7:3

Now available online through Duke University Press
This special issue, “Solidarity’s Challenge,” confronts the difficulties and contradictions of solidarity. Complicating our understanding of solidarity as a force that coheres and coordinates subjects in perfect unity, the issue’s introduction, scholarly essays, activist reflections, and artistic interventions probe the logics of exclusion underlying certain forms of solidarity and look for new models amid contemporary crises.

UC Berkeley’s Center for Interdisciplinary Critical Inquiry and the International Consortium of Critical Theory Programs have been awarded $2.6 million by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to support a groundbreaking multi-year initiative titled “A Counter-Imaginary in Authoritarian Times.” Through collaborative workshops, conferences, performances, publications, and a dynamic, open-ended digital platform, this project brings together academics, artists, activists, and other community members to develop concrete strategies, tools, and proposals to create a counter-imaginary to authoritarianism.

PROJECTS

Critical Times 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.

The Consortium Books publishes critical theory from Africa and its diasporas, Latin America, the Arab world, and South Asia, pursuing the importance of translation not only among languages, but epistemological paradigms as well.

The Consortium’s workshop series focuses on experimental artistic and intellectual practices that engage the pressing issues of our times. The aim of the workshops is to explore, map, and connect these practices and articulate critical vocabularies for the present and future.
