WiSe 22/23: Saidiya Hartman: Scenes of Subjection (Englisch)
Henrike Elisabeth Kohpeiß
Comments
In her first book, published in 1997, Saidiya Hartman unfolds a theory of the subject based on the effects of colonialism. She studies the relation between white supremacy and the oppression of Black people through modes of self-constitution and performance. Hartmans work is one of the canonical readings within Black studies and Black feminism and methodologically situated between history, philosophy and performance studies.
We will engage in a semester of close reading in order to get familiar with some fundamental theoretical motives in Black Studies, such as the notion of antiblackness, slave agency, he aftermath of slavery and its counterparts: the possessive individuality of the bourgeois subject and the liberal notion of freedom. close
