The discourse of political theology recently energized early modern scholarship, but its future trajectory remains uncertain. The Milton Society of America seeks to assemble a panel considering how John Milton’s writings might help us recalibrate the way we study the relationships between religion and politics, between early modern and modern formations. To be considered, please send, no later than July 29, a 200-word abstract and an abbreviated cv to Eric Song at MiltonSocietySec@gmail.com.

Instead, these iconoclastic artists engaged in acts of dissidence promoted in soirées, manifestos, journals and exhibits that interfered with public life. For instance, Marinetti paraded with the Suffragettes smashing windows through the streets of London, an act that echoes his fervor to destroy museums and academies, as described in the 1909 Futurist Manifesto.

“Critical theory,” Hortense Spillers has written, “witnesses its most impressive moments of efflorescence in times of crisis”. Yet classical critical theory’s analyses of consumer society, of totalitarianism, of the public sphere, and of culture, were predicated on a wholly different set of crises to those which ‘we’ are now experiencing. Under today’s drastically different conditions of cultural and material production, what tools can critical theory offer for grappling with ‘our current moment’?
