"Decentralizing Knowledges," edited by Leandro Rodriguez Medina & Sandra Harding, argues that epistemic decentralizing should be a main objective in studying the specific infrastructures and practices that make such decentering possible. #PostcolonialTheory

Cover of Decentralizing Knowledges edited by Leandro Rodriguez Medina and Sandra Harding. The cover features a photograph of an art installation by Sarah Sze. Sze's large sculpture is made of steel bars that form a vast, open framework in the shape of a sphere. Attached to the framework are images of a New York sky (printed on metal) that resemble torn pieces of paper.

A question, especially for social theorists & academics generally:

Does "Critical Theory" make one think of "The Frankfurt School," theoretical approaches interested in (especially hidden) power relations regardless of its pedigree (Marx, poststructualism, etc), or something else?
