Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course aims to address the emergence and the development of critical policy studies. As this is a vast area, the focus will be on this development from within anthropology. Exploring the relationship between policies, power, and governmentality and as well as the theoretical and methodological challenges of this field to anthropology will be central to the course. The course will focus on how policies work as instruments of power, how polices constitute their publics, create different categories of people, mediate and shape the subjectivities of these new categories of people and they govern them; how policies are re-worked as they move: why it is important to focus on practices of policies.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

Each student will be assessed through a combination of seminar contribution, oral presentation, and written work (again this scheme depends on the number of students registered to this course). Students whose PhD project engages with policies are particularly welcome as students would be asked to focus on the emergence and the transformation of a particular policy in their term paper.
