Fredric Jameson and the Future of Critical Theory

deadline for submissions:

Call for Proposals: Fredric Jameson and the Future of Critical Theory

April 10–12, 2026

Duke University, Durham, NC, USA

Keynotes by Michael Denning, Jane Gaines, Achille Mbembe, Toril Moi, and Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak.

---

Fredric Jameson (1934–2024) insisted on “imagining a future which might be radically and constitutionally other.” The urgency of this task rested on his understanding of Critical Theory “as a way of keeping the negative alive in a period in which praxis, the unity of the negative and the positive, itself seems suspended.” We invite proposals for papers on Jameson’s work and its implications for the future of critical theory.
