Kommentar	Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements and grading. Crisis talk and crisis-mongering often put forth the idea that the transformations we are witnessing today disrupt a state of stability and unfold as a singular event. They tend to conceal the violence and permanent exception that are the norm under global capitalism and our global geo-politics by singling out moments of presumed emergency and crisis from an already crisis-driven status quo. In this seminar we will critically engage with the concepts of crisis, risk, emergency, and the state of exception. We will conceptualize emergency not merely as a trope that is evoked but a way of grasping problematic events and of representing them in their apparent unpredictability, abnormality, and brevity. Students will receive analytical tools to connect crisis moments over time, ranging from the management of disease to national anxieties of terrorism.
