WiSe 21/22: From Theories of Culture to Theories of Race, Gender, and Class (1980-2022)
Frank Kelleter
Kommentar
This seminar synthesizes two courses from previous semesters: “Postclassical Theory” and “Black Theory, Theories of Blackness.” Taking our departure from select examples of cultural theory that have emerged after the “classical” paradigms of psychoanalysis, phenomenology, orthodox Marxism and their poststructuralist inflections, we will engage with more contemporary developments in the critical theories of race, gender, and class—many of which have been first articulated in the context of Black theory after the 1980s. Possible topics include Stuart Hall, Black feminism (e.g., Combahee River Collective, Audre Lorde, bell hooks), Intersectionality (Kimberlé Crenshaw), critical race theories (e.g., Claudia Rankine), critical Whiteness studies, Afropessimism, Black Marxism, Hortense Spillers, Saidiya Hartman, new queer theories, perspectives on “settler colonialism,” and other paradigms. -----
Unlike Prof. Kelleter’s lecture courses, this seminar will be largely student-driven; more than half of the sessions will be designed and moderated by the participants. Students are expected to familiarize themselves with potential course material (theoretical paradigms and texts) before the first meeting, when all participants will be asked to propose and sign up for one session topic (theoretical paradigm and/or set of texts) for classroom discussion (compare Syllabus).
Registration: All participants need to be registered via Blackboard and Campus Management by the first session. If you cannot register online or cannot attend the first session, please contact Prof. Kelleter before the beginning of the term. Organization: Please download the Syllabus and Course Description (with a description of all requirements) from the “Teaching” section of Prof. Kelleter’s JFKI website or from Blackboard (go to “Kursmaterial”; you may have to click on “open Syllabus here” to download it; if this doesn’t work, try a different browser: students have reported problems with the Chrome browser). Please read the Syllabus/Course Description carefully: It contains detailed information about the seminar’s structure and suggestions for preparing “your” session. Note that we will finalize our class schedule in the first two meetings. This means that everyone who wants to attend this course needs to be present in the first session in order to sign up for a topic (student-run session) or have contacted Prof. Kelleter beforehand by e-mail (no later than October 23). First session: October 25 (note: this is the second week of the semester).
