WiSe 14/15: Critical Security Studies
Ursula Schröder
Kommentar
This MA-level seminar introduces students to the rapidly growing research field of critical security studies. The seminar discusses a wide range of recent theoretical approaches to explore the role of critical perspectives on security both for current academic debates and for progressive practices in the field of security. Over the course of the seminar, we focus on the central questions, issues and research agendas of major alternatives to traditional security studies that have emerged after the Cold War. Starting with a discussion of changing security concepts from different perspectives (Copenhagen, Aberystwyth and Paris schools), the seminar moves on to assess the contributions of feminist and postcolonial thought to these debates. In its second part, the discussion of selected academic debates and case studies in the field illustrates larger conceptual and normative questions linked to the rapidly changing forms of international security governance. The course covers the following themes: discipline and biopolitics; technologies of surveillance; risk, knowledge and insecurity; images and representations of (in)security; security ethics and progressive politics.
