60738-01 - Kurs: Transgressive texts (3 KP)
| Semester | Frühjahrsemester 2025 |
| Angebotsmuster | unregelmässig |
| Dozierende | Peter Burleigh (p.burleigh@unibas.ch, BeurteilerIn) |
| Inhalt | This course is intended as a reading and discussion cycle based on the political stakes of transgressive and 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 society today? 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 with a cycle of: Short response -- Framed response -- Analytical response -- Longer writing |
| Literatur | Essays by the following writers will be included and made available: Mary Wollstonecraft, Gertrude Stein, Virginia Woolf, Simone de Beauvoir, Audre Lorde, Hélène Cixous, Maria Lugones, Donna Haraway, Linda Stupart, Andreas Malm, Kathleen Stewart, Lauren Berlant. |
| Bemerkungen | Students should be prepared to read around 20 pages per week in the materials of the course, and to do some form of writing in response to the input - sometimes shorter (150 words), sometimes longer (500+ words), on a weekly basis. |
| Anmeldung zur Lehrveranstaltung | Please register for the course via services.unibas.ch by Monday 3rd February. |
