Title
A Utopian Methodology as a Tool for Cultural and Critical Psychologies: Toward a Positive Critical Theory
Abstract/Description
This chapter offers an introduction to a program of research, teaching, and community development that can serve as a model for what the authors refer to as a positive critical theory. Critical theorizing has roots in several corners of the humanities and the term means different things across discourse communities. The authors' use of the term marks their attempt to supersede those forms of criticism that offer no possibility for remedy or redress within the reach of people who don't benefit from reading academic texts. The authors conclude with a critical assessment of their own success and failure to theorize, implement, and sustain Fifth Dimensions as alternatives to dominant practices in terms of the notion of a positive critical theory.
