transversal on critique

critique | kritik | crítica

To the extent that it does not withdraw to the balconies of academic theory or the bunkers of art criticism, critique is not simply a practice of judging. The meanings of critique, developed over the course of centuries, as a faculty of distinction, a critical attitude, or as a practical critical activity are assuming new forms today: as atopical critique, embodied critique, affirmative critique, criticality. The texts of the current transversal issue seek to update this kind of constant renewal of critique on the basis of shifted or newly invented concepts and exemplary experiences.
