The Ends of Critique re-examines the stakes of critique in the 21st century. In view of increasingly complex socio-political realities and shifts in a fully globalized world, the roles and manners of critique also change. The volume offers an unprecedented re-examination of critique under those conditions of global entanglement and asymmetrical relations from a diversity of scholarly perspectives within the humanities. All contributions move the notion of critique into more diverse traditions than the Eurocentric, Kantian tradition and emphasize the need to attend to a plurality of critical perspectives. The volume’s reflections move critique toward a situated, perspectival, and entangled critical stance, with interventions from decolonial and systemic, deconstructive and (post)human(ist) perspectives. In that way, the volume develops a decidedly different approach to critique than recent considerations of critique as post-critique (Felski) or those endebted to Frankfurt School thought and liberal theories of democracy. It is the first full-length research publication of the interdisciplinary research network Terra Critica.

How to sustain criticality as a living force, when the critical stance seems readily assumed today by the right and the left alike? I applaud the authors’ concerted interventions in this hazardous terrain. The result is a richly stimulating collection that brings the ends of critique up to date with a commendably ethical vision.
Rey Chow, author of A Face Drawn in Sand: Humanistic Inquiry and Foucault in the Present
This fascinating volume provides an accessible and informative engagement with current debates over the supposed deaths and putative aims of critique. Engaging with diverse forms of cultural, literary and political criticism, it provides a compelling demonstration that critique serves a range of different ends and is far from over.
Paul Patton, author of Deleuzian Concepts: Philosophy, Colonization, Politics and translator of Gilles Deleuze's Difference and Repetition, Wuhan University and Flinders University
