Internal Critique

Following last year's University of Essex Workshop on 'Ought & Cannot', a few of us will be getting together for another informal workshop on 'Internal Critique'. The workshop will address questions concerning the internal critique of a culture or society: what makes a critique "internal"? what is the difference between internal and external critique? is internal critique possible, valuable, or necessary? We'll be following a standard format: 8 papers over 2 days, with presentation and questions/discussion time in each session.   All welcome, no fee. If you have questions about travel or accommodation please contact either Matt Bennett ([email protected]) or Matteo Falomi ([email protected]).
