"In resonance with Derrida’s doubling of “ends” in his 1968 essay “The Ends of Man”, this collaborative talk will think about the ends of critique. Building on our most recent Terra Critica publication The Ends of Critique (2022) – crossing the coming to an end of certain critical dispositions with the refusal to give up on critique as a key commitment for work in the Humanities – our talk will address ideas of temporality and time (Thiele) and spatial distance or proximity (Kaiser) which often uncritically underly and drive practices of critique. How do modes of critique transform, if (with Sylvia Wynter) the linearity and sequentiality of critical pursuits of change were challenged? And how do practices of critique morph, if (with Gayatri Spivak) critical intimacy were valued over distance? If one were to consider another spacetime, how does critique come to matter?"
Diese Veranstaltung ist eine Kooperation zwischen dem DFG-Graduiertenkolleg Kulturen der Kritik und dem Center for Critical Studies (CCS).
Der Vortrag ist öffentlich, für den Workshop bitten wir um Anmeldung bis zum 29. Mai 2024 per E-Mail an kdk@leuphana.de.
