The criticalhabitations project and blog was active from 2012 to 2022. We are currently on an indefinite hiatus and do not post or seek new content. This blog remains online as a documentation of our activities and the texts of our collaborators. Thank you for your interest in our work.
About the blog:
Since its emergence cultural studies has been concerned with the historical materiality of particular moments, places and conjunctures. This blog serves as a platform of exchange among practitioners of cultural studies, who – as researchers, teachers, activists – remain committed to cultural studies’ focus on a specific here and now, a concrete time and place.
Our blog takes as its starting point the notion of habitation. How do we dwell in the traditions of cultural studies in our diverse locations? Have some of our categories of analysis and terms of engagements become mere habits? Is cultural studies a space of dissent, or a homely space? For whom?
