Description
Conflicting Humanities brings together world-renowned thinkers to address the urgent need for reinventing the humanities. This provocative volume considers the current state of humanism and the humanities, building on the intellectual legacy of Edward Said.
The contributors, working in various disciplinary settings, examine the core task of the Humanities as democratic criticism, while also incorporating perspectives on gender, environmental justice, anti-racism, and the necro-political governmentality of our time. This innovative piece of scholarship seeks to supplement Said's definition with a more nuanced understanding.
With its commitment to challenging the status quo and refusing a world ravaged by new forms of injustice and exploitation, Conflicting Humanities is a vital contribution to ongoing debates in education, philosophy, and politics.
