In this session of the People’s School of Critical Theory at
The People’s School of Critical Theory at Andrými, Reykjavík
In this session, we will explore the intersections of critical theory, continental philosophy, coloniality, and modern society. Through a dialogue between Marcuse’s One-Dimensional Man and Latin American Critical Theorists on the condition of coloniality and decolonial possibilities, we will examine themes such as oppression, liberation, domination, the erosion of democratic principles, and hegemonic power.
To deepen our engagement, we will incorporate aesthetic objects—films, documentaries, news media, and contemporary politics—as tools for analysis and discussion.
This class is open to all, regardless of origin, education, language skills, or residency status. No prior knowledge is required—just curiosity and an open mind.
Join us to think critically, connect with others, and imagine new potentialities.
