Las humanidades y la crisis Paul Reiter y Chad Wellmon . Permanent Crisis. The Humanities in a Disenchanted Age. University of Chicago Press. 2021 “The self understanding of the modern humanities didn’t mere take shape in response to a perceived crisis; it also made crisis a core part of the project of the humanities.” Las humanidades como “a privileged resources for resolving crises of meaning and value that threaten another cultural and social goods”
Crisis metodológicas : Los estudios culturales . Cultural Studies “is born as a political project, as a way of analysing postwar advanced capitalist culture”. Relations of identity do exist, but they have increasingly less explanatory power than the relations of difference, which gives us an awareness of the different tempos and conditions of existence of the various relations which make up the economic Stuart Hall.

Estudios Culturales : Crisis productiva In trying to sight the problem of the humanities and social technology from the standpoint of cultural studies a particular sense of irony takes over insofar as cultural studies in Britain emerged precisely from a crisis in the humanities. many of us were formed in the humanities my own degrees are in literature rather than in sociology. The cultural crisis now cuts into and through the humanities from beginning to end: the social technologies of the other side have already invaded the humanities, summoning them to the barricades to defend an old project. And the humanities have thus to decide on which side of this particular form of cultural politics they are going to engage in the future Stuart Hall.

Las formas que construyen Privileging modernism over realism, openness over closure, transgression over synthesis, irony over telos, methodological protoocls and theoretical truisms in the study of art have celebrated forms that undo their formedness and have imagined politics as demolition. The value of what forms build recedes. Forming is a value in itself: constituyente no destituyente. Literature makes in language something more than what already exits. It models futures possible. We can build it. Realism fundamentally designs and erect socialities, imagines the grounds of collectivities, probes the mystique of materialities, modulates intuitions and productions beyond the scope of the given.
