A melancholy defeatism has become a hallmark of critical thought and leftist politics. A consequence of this has been an exaggerated focus on domination among critical theorists, leaving emancipation--along with questions of political organization and strategy--undertheorized at best, or disregarded as delusional, at worst. If emancipation still plays a role in critical reflection, it is most often in a "domesticated" form, made into a bedfellow of centrist liberalism.
Recent events necessitate a different outlook, especially since the financial collapse of 2008 and the myriad movements--emancipatory as much as reactionary--it has spawned throughout the world. Through a series of dialogues and reflections by leading thinkers, scholars, and activists, Domination and Emancipation: Remaking Critique seeks to rebuild the emancipatory pole of critique and bring forward theoretical work that is in step with the struggles and aspirations of the moment.
Daniel Benson is assistant professor of Foreign Languages and International Cultural Studies at St. Francis College. His writing has appeared in journals including Diacritics, Critical Review of Contemporary French Fixxion, and Left History.
