| Inhalt | This block course focuses on land(scape) and (urban) space as both objects of investigation and as sites of intervention—the very medium within which movement takes place and through which power and resistance are represented and exerted. The course examines the tensions linking the urban spaces, territories, infrastructures and practices engaged with at a local level with broader geopolitical scales and dimensions, paying particular attention to the historical colonial and imperial legacies, and trans-local processes that cross the imagined ‘Global North’ and ‘Global South’ divide. In doing so, the course explores how cities and territories are formed and their entanglement in the global systems of movement, circulation, accumulation, and displacement that produce global conflict. Within this conceptual framework, we engage with—and seek to (un)learn and challenge—sites that interrogate notions of layered state power, borders, violence, territorialisms, the militarization of space, and the movement of people, ideas, goods identities, and solidarities. Designed to complement site immersions in the Spring 2022 semester, our in-class sessions involve assigned readings, collective discussions, and individual presentations that focus on both written and visual engagements with the course materials and topic. |
| Lernziele | This course aims to provide the theoretical and conceptual framework needed for engaged fieldwork in and around Palermo, Sicily. Using the notion of the Black Mediterranean, we examine the topics of colonial infrastructures, confiscated properties, and militarized environments and explore proximity that exists, and has always existed, among the imagined regions known as 'Mediterranean', the 'Middle East', ‘Africa' and ‘Europe’. With this, we examine how the urban present and racialized inequalities experienced by communities in these spaces are linked to colonial legacies and regional hierarchies of power. Participants will use theory and empirical fieldwork to discuss conflicts and identity-formation as simultaneous processes of place- and space-making. Together, the course and our site immersions explore the intersections between aesthetics, legal frames and territorial divisions in their relationship with contemporary spatial-political realities and urban relations. |
| Bemerkungen | The University of Basel provides a small grant to help cover the costs of the travel and logistics of the semester. Full details will be provided via email to all UAG-track students. The course was formerly titled: Bedou/Land(scape)Space, but as the SSite Immerison will be in Sicily in Spring 2022, the title is amended to: Land(scape)/Space. |
