Inhalt | This course is intended as a reading and discussion cycle based on the political stakes of critical writing, and hopes to provide some answers to questions such as: can we find an antidote to an increasing rhetoric of anti-intellectualism in the governance of people? Where is there space for grounding progressive, thought-provoking, radical ideas and ways of life? What kinds of ways to engage will come next? The course will be structured around a series of texts which will be given structured and in-depth reading with a view to establishing ways to respond in discussion and writing to such input. The texts we visit will give a historical background, as well as a space for contemporary thought, and point to potential future worlds. |
Lernziele | Students will be exposed to a wide range of critical texts, from which they will glean key ideas, principles and movements from a brief history of critical writing. Students will practice responding to these canonical texts in speech and writing. In particular, their own positioning through writing critical essays will be rehearsed. |
Literatur | Essays by the following writers will be included and made available: Mary Wollstonecraft, Gertrude Stein, Virginia Woolf, Walter Benjamin, Simone de Beauvoir, Michel Foucault, John Berger, Audre Lorde, Hélène Cixous, Donna Haraway, Hannah Black |
Bemerkungen | Students should be prepared to read around 20 pages per week in the materials of the course. |
