“…Their work also reacts to the differentiation and particularization of the political left at the beginning of the 1970s, which prevents it from effective success (Negt 1973; Negt/Kluge 1972: 150–162). In light of this, Negt and Kluge's emphatic notion of the proletarian counter-public provides a theoretical framework for a fragmented left (Schlüpmann 1990: 70). In an original way, the authors analyze the public sphere as potentially politicizing and also take labour into account.…”

In this contribution, we argue that critical theories of the public sphere (in Habermas, but also in Negt and Kluge as well as Fraser) leave out the socially central field of labour and labour-political disputes, and that a reactualization and refocusing becomes necessary: We define the dynamics of globalization, commodification and digitalization as sequences of a renewed structural transformation of both social self-understanding and gainful employment. With the help of a multi-level model of labour-political publics and counter-publics, class mobilizations can be examined with a public-theoretical lens and important moments of labour-political disputes can also be reflected on their communicative conditions. This is exemplified by two vignettes.

“…To be sure, there are many interests in considering critical theory in the broadest sense. For example, it allows to apply the concept to various problems, situations, and subjects, ranging from political science(Macdonald 2017) and particular political issues such as Brexit (see, for example, Jahn 2021) to education(Rasmussen 2015), feminism(Schlüpmann and Daniel 1990;Allen 2015), race(Crenshaw et al 1995;Wischmann 2018), and Black Studies(Rabaka 2002(Rabaka , 2009.…”

Marcien Towa, father of Cameroonian Critical Theory: a comparison with Max Horkheimer

In this paper, I examine the extent to which Marcien Towa (1931-2014) can be considered the Father of Cameroonian Critical Theory. In this regard, I compare what can be called his social philosophy with the project of a critical theory of society, as outlined by Max Horkheimer (1895-1973). I specifically consider Marcien Towa’s idea of philosophy, which I confront with Horkheimer’s project from the perspectives offered by their sociopolitical premises, conceptual references, and progressive goals. On each of these aspects, I discover sufficient correspondences that allow me to argue that Towa and Horkheimer, who barely knew each other, formulated a somewhat similar claim, namely to provide a critical theory of society, whose aim is not only to understand society but more importantly to change it.
