Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This is a basic introduction to modern colonialism and how it is shaping our world today. We attempt to understand its impact on the colonised as well as, the colonisers. In addition, we try to understand aspects and limits of colonial knowledge systems and through this, critically investigate our own practices and surroundings. We will be reading some significant thinkers of colonialism, coloniality and post & de-colonialism from diverse positionalities and perspectives. We will engage with the basic concepts of decoloniality, breaking the eurocentric cannon, epistemic disobedience and decolonial methodologies in philosophical work and living practices.

The course will be held in English. In case a student is limited by language, media competence or learning difficulty, changes can be made to the method and assessments on a case-by-case basis. To take those needs and further questions into account, you can write to the instructor and request a meeting. The structure, resources, weekly plan, readings and assignment submissions will be made available on Moodle.
