Global Dialogues of Current Critical Theory II: The Conditions of Dialogue

The project arises from the need to establish a global dialogue to position research on Critical Theory at an international nodal point. Dialogue, the foundation of both theoretical development and democratic deliberation processes, is not exempt from premises that determine the possibility of understanding. The research addresses how this dialogue is threatened by the inherent barriers of language, systemic imperatives, and Eurocentric normative presuppositions of the European tradition.
Acronym

DIGLOTEO II

Description

The project's objectives are:

  1. To understand the normative and epistemological conditions of dialogue in general, and global dialogue in particular.

  2. To map the theoretical problems of dialogue by studying the classics of Critical Theory (such as Horkheimer, Adorno, and Habermas), the current debates of the Frankfurt School, and their main critiques from poststructuralism and decolonial perspectives.

  3. To explore the social implications and threats to contemporary democracies (such as populism or polarization) resulting from the difficulties of this dialogue.
