Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This graduate lecture seminar introduces a selected repertoire of key concepts in current debates in social sciences. It aims to develop a relational and conjunctural understanding of identity, violence, warfare, temporality, law, rights, power, and difference in their interactions with broader relations in our contemporary societies. How can we reconceptualize violence through a lens of temporality? Does law produce difference? What are the different definitions of rights? How do these different definitions bring forward different conceptualizations of identity and power?

The methods and sources we discuss are multiple and varied—from sociology and history, anthropology, political economy, environmental studies, critical race and gender studies, and geography.

Learning Outcomes
At the end of the semester, students will:
1) be fluent and theoretically knowledgeable in the key concepts and issues covered in this course.

3) have a better understanding of the investigative and creative parts of academic research by developing their critical reading and analysis skills
