Critical Voices in Critical Times
Registrace 12. 08. 2017
Since the Arab uprisings of 2011, the world has witnessed a stream of popular protest movements, the acceleration of extreme inequality, precarity and migration, unhinged populisms, and a planetary tipping point. What vocabulary, concepts and ideas are needed to make sense of the present moment? Critical Voices in Critical Times, informed by principles of critical pedagogy, engages the ideas and works of critical thinkers. It provides a space to think with the thinkers and deliberate about praxis, ways of understanding -or reading- our world and putting affirmative ideas into action.

Babylon everywhere!!!
اتكلم كتير من غير ما يضيف أي حاجة
Paris Commune was not a false start. It lasted physically 40 days. Morally, it endures to this day. That's not a false start. . . . and so The Arab Spring and Tlatelolco '68 are real starts, moral imperatives that inform and sustain. Professor Marshak will disagree and call these starts just visions. True, but how are such visions false?
I'm not sure The Arab Spring belongs in your list of starts and Tlatelolco '68 was a start that was premature. When the people were in their position of power, they didn't know what to ask for or do. The kind of class consciousness we learn from Gramsci is a necessary precursor.
GREAT INTERVIEW!
الله يرحمو
It is very insightful vision about the recent past and the near future of our buried revolution in Egypt! Thanks Prof. Bayat, Prof Herrera, and my dear compatriot Heba for these appreciated enlightening efforts.
