WiSe 19/20: Critical Race Theory
Robin Celikates
Comments
This seminar will examine central issues in the contemporary discussion about race and racism from a critical theory perspective. If race is socially constructed, how are we to understand its reality? How does race relate to class and gender, and is intersectionality the right way to think about the relation of multiple forms of oppression? What role do individual attitudes, ideologies, practices, institutions, and social structures – as well as their histories – play in reproducing racial hierarchies and exclusions? Which forms of critique, solidarity and resistance can challenge entrenched forms of racism? Authors to be discussed include W.E.B. Du Bois, Frantz Fanon, bell hooks, Patricia Hill Collins, Stuart Hall, Charles Mills, Achille Mbembe and Linda Martín Alcoff. close
