Grupo de Estudios de Teoría Crítica Contemporánea (GETeCC) Buenos Aires

In its contemporary stage, Critical Theory of society is practiced in a deterritorialized manner. An approach in the process of decolonization that is open to dialogue, intersectionality, and exchange with perspectives located in the peripheral regions of the world. In its various initiatives, both due to its object of study and the diverse methodologies it employs, the Contemporary Critical Theory Studies Group (GETeCC) aims to contribute to this democratization process that the tradition of interdisciplinary thought initiated by the so-called Frankfurt School is facing today. And intends to do so from (and for) Latin America. The Group’s main objective is to analyze the current conceptual advances within the mentioned tradition from a point of view situated in the issues and contradictions prevalent in Latin American societies. More specifically, GETeCC aspires to map a constellation of authors who are central to contemporary Critical Theory; to create spaces for academic involvement in the field of Critical Theory of society studies; to support production at both the theoretical and empirical research levels; to establish exchange and cooperation with other groups from the Global South and the Global North that share similar objectives.
