> Critic and crisis is a hendiadys characteristic of modernity. It is a
> notion going back at least to the eighteenth century with a precise and
> articulated European location, marking the birth of a concept that is
> central to our interest: culture. It is a question of understanding that
> "culture" is the figure of thought (itself a metaphor), that is built
> through a self-reflection (critic) and through the continuous
> self-questioning (crisis). The fact that there are many and rich "cultural
> turns" in today's cultural studies is the clearest proof that Modernity is
> conceived from the concept of culture and culture is conceived as critique
> and crisis.
>
> The henceforth Summer School in Critique/Crisis is addressed to everyone
> who is interested in this themes: students, Ph.D, researchers, scientists.
