Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
This course will introduce students to key works of five Francophone 'postcolonial' thinkers - Aimé Césaire, Frantz Fanon, Jean-Marc Ela, Achille Mbembe and Jean-Francois Bayart.The purposes of this course are threefold: 1) to contextualise the specificities of Francophone postcolonial thinking; 2) to address questions of subjectivity and religion; 3) to investigate peculiar stylistics of power within the historicity of concrete colonial settings.Students will learn how to ask questions which go beyond the simplifying notions of 'discourse' and 'representation' or simplifying categorial and abstract binaries such as 'the' Other, 'colonizer/colonized, 'the' margin and 'the' centre'; they will be able to differentiate between different types of colonies; they will recognise the multiplicity and variation of actors, interests and motivations involved in any colonial project, degrees of complicity as well as autonomy.

Prüfungsstoff
Texts and contents covered throughout the semester. Participants are expected to read all set texts plus the additional secondary/theoretical material provided on the moodle platform; they are also expected to engage in autonomous research, to offer a critical and reflective analysis of texts and concepts. This is a 'theory' course, so students will be expected to think critically, to show a certain ability to summarise and abstract arguments, to shape their texts logically and coherently.
