ENGLISH 797 / Politics of Our Times

3 unit(s)

P. Rethman (cross-listed as CULTR ST 797)

The goal of this graduate seminar is to tackle the question of “the political,” especially the ways in which it is used, conceptualized, and understood in the present. Drawing on critical theory and thought, the course aims to interrogate the historical and epistemological conditions from which politics emerge. In marking these conditions, it also aims to map alternative orientations for the crafting of (our) futures.
