Grounding education in practices of hope: A case study of He Kaupapa Tumanako
In 2020, in response to the growing expressions of anxiety and hopelessness we saw amongst young people, a team of social scientists at Te Kunenga ki Purehuroa | Massey University, Aotearoa New Zealand created an initiative with high school students: \"He Kaupapa Tumanako/Project Hope\". He Kaupapa Tumanako draws from theoretical traditions in Matauranga Maori and the Frankfurt School to approach hope as a practice, grounded in the understanding that connection is an antidote to the struggles of our times: connection with other young people, connection with communities, and connection with whenua/land. Over the past four years, we have focused on building He Kaupapa Tumanako into a suite of courses supported by student mentors that connect young people from around the world. In this article, we reflect on what our experiences are teaching us about engaging hope as a transformative practice in sociology.

Concentrationary Art
Largely forgotten over the years, the seminal work of French poet, novelist and camp survivor Jean Cayrol has experienced a revival in the French-speaking world since his death in 2005. His concept of a concentrationary art—the need for an urgent and constant aesthetic resistance to the continuing effects of the concentrationary universe—proved to be a major influence for Hannah Arendt and other writers and theorists across a number of disciplines. Concentrationary Art presents the first translation into English of Jean Cayrol’s key essays on the subject, as well as the first book-length study of how we might situate and elaborate his concept of a Lazarean aesthetic in cultural theory, literature, cinema, music and contemporary art.

The Frankfurt School at Egyptian Universities
The critical theory of the Frankfurt School reached Egypt in 1955, when the Arabic translation of Erich Fromm’s The Sane Society (New York, 1955) was published in Cairo. Later, Herbert Marcuse’s Soviet Marxism (1958) was translated into Arabic in Beirut in 1965, and with the rise of student protests in France, Germany, and the United States, much attention was given to Marcuse; almost all his writings were translated into Arabic between 1969 and 1973. This article explores the nature of individual “receptions” of the critical theory of the Frankfurt School at Egyptian universities. To this end, it briefly introduces the early generation of the Frankfurt School, as well as the reasons of interest in its fate in Egyptian universities. Though master’s theses and doctoral dissertations do not represent a university’s orientation to critical theory, and at best represent the perspective of their individual authors, this article shows that key individual theses and dissertations testify to an early rejection of the Frankfurt School and to the late adoption of it as a critical paradigm of the transformations in Egyptian society.

النظرية النقدية لمدرسة فرانكفورت : تطبيق على مصر والعالم الثالث
خضع استقبال مدرسة فرانكفورت في العالم العربي للمصادفات في أغلب الأحيان، وارتبط في بعض الأحيان بظروف إنتاج المعرفة ووسائلها ومالكيها، بما في ذلك الترجمات والدوريات والمؤلفات والأطروحات العلمية، فضلا عن الانتماءات الأيديولوجية والتوجُّهات الفكرية والتحيزات المعرفية. وكل ذلك أدى إلى إظهار جوانب من مدرسة فرانكفورت وإخفاء جوانب أخرى. ولما كانت مدرسة فرانكفورت تقدم مراجعة شاملة للحداثة الغربية وعصر التنوير، فلا غرابة أن أغفلت جماعة التنوير في مصر هذه المدرسة تماما، أو ربما أنها لم تعلم بها أصلا.
Critical theory of legal revolutions : evolutionary perspectives
This unique work analyzes the crisis in modern society, building on the ideas of the Frankfurt School thinkers. Emphasizing social evolution and learning processes, it argues that crisis is mediated by social class conflicts and collective learning, the results of which are embodied in constitutional and public law. First, the work outlines a new categorical framework of critical theory in which it is conceived as a theory of crisis. It shows that the Marxist focus on economy and on class struggle is too narrow to deal with the range of social conflicts within modern society, and posits that a crisis of legitimization is at the core of all crises. It then discusses the dialectic of revolutionary and evolutionary developmental processes of modern society and its legal system. This volume in the Critical Theory and Contemporary Society by a leading scholar in the field provides a new approach to critical theory that will appeal to anyone studying political sociology, political theory, and law.
