WiSe 17/18: Post-Classical Theory

Frank Kelleter

Kommentar

This seminar serves as “Hauptseminar” of Culture-Module C in the Master's degree program. It will deal with select examples of cultural theory that have emerged after the “classical” paradigms of psychoanalysis, phenomenology, postcolonialism or “traditional” Marxism. Individual sessions will be dedicated to field theory, actor-network-theory, systems theory; additional topics (to be chosen and prepared by students) can include, but are not restricted to, post-critique, intersectionality, critical race theory, critical whiteness studies, new queer theory, new media studies, post-cinema theory, critical university studies, the settler colonialism paradigm, global history, theories of neoliberalism, and other paradigms. Unlike Prof. Kelleter’s lecture course, this seminar will be almost completely student-driven: participants will be in charge of nearly all sessions, topics, and discussions. Participants are expected to have familiarized themselves with potential course material (theoretical paradigms and texts) before the first session. In the beginning, all participants will be asked to propose one session topic (theoretical paradigm and/or set of texts) for classroom use (compare Syllabus). Registration: All participants must be registered via Blackboard and Campus Management before the first session. If you cannot register online, please contact Prof. Kelleter before the beginning of the term. Requirements and Organization: See Syllabus and Course Description (on Blackboard). This course is not an introductory course to Cultural Theory; it is designed for advanced M.A. students. First-semester students can sign up as but some background knowledge in classical and contemporary Theory is recommended. To participate in this course, you need to be present and prepared in the first session (no exceptions)! Preparation includes being ready to present one theoretical paradigm and/or set of texts of your choice for classroom use. If you would like to participate but cannot attend the first session, please contact Prof. Kelleter immediately (not later than October 9). First session: October 16. Schließen
