This edited volume offers an up-to-date overview of the intricate relationship between the Frankfurt School of Critical Theory and Latin America.The central intuition guiding this book is that to adequately confront the multiple crises of the present, Critical Theory must engage with Latin American realities and perspectives. The volume has two closely linked objectives: first, to offer an updated and comprehensive overview of the multifaceted relationship between the Frankfurt School and Latin America; and second, to foster a mutually enlightening dialogue between Latin American and Global Northern perspectives in Critical Theory, with a particular focus on contemporary social and political realities.A comprehensive and timely work, this edited collection will be of particular interest to researchers working on critical theory, decoloniality, social theory and feminism.

This Palgrave Handbook showcases how the phenomenological approach, especially but not only as developed by Alfred Schutz, can make important contributions to the theoretical analysis of macro-social phenomena such as the state, history, culture and interculturality, class relations and struggles, social movements and protests, capitalism, democracy, and digitalization processes. It gathers systematically and intellectual-historically oriented chapters that deal with these macro social phenomena from a phenomenological perspective. This handbook is mainly intended for a threefold audience: sociologists and social scientists at large – both theoretically and empirically oriented –, phenomenological sociologists, and phenomenological philosophers. This book includes chapters by international renowned specialists in social theory, phenomenological sociology, and phenomenology: Hartmut Rosa (University of Jena), Michael Barber (St. Louis University), Thomas Eberle (University of St. Gallen), Roberto Walton (Universidad de Buenos Aires), Jochen Dreher (University of Konstanz), Chung-Chi YU (National Sun Yat-sen University, Taiwan), and George Bondor (AI.I. Cuza University of Iasi, Romania), among others.
