Patterns of Violence - Einzelansicht

Scrutinising Othering processes from a Cultural Studies-informed perspective, we will analyse elements of our power structures that make up our (lacks of) legitimised bodily autonomy and knowledge. Among these elements re-/generated by patriarchy, (post-)colonialism, and capitalism are emotional experience/s, everyday and institutional discourses, segregating, confining, and eliminating practices.

This seminar offers an opportunity to explore how, e.g., forms of epistemic, emotional, and physical violence constitute and contribute to our perceived identities and (lacks of) bodily, social, and global mobility.

Important: Some of our sessions will take place on the Zoom meeting platform, a number of our sessions will take place on campus.

Reading of assigned texts, participation in group presentation, final short essay
