Section Info:
This course provides a historical survey of the foundational thinkers, texts, and schools that orient contemporary work in the humanities, from Kant and Hegel to Cultural Studies and Postcolonial Theory, with the emphasis being on the relations between these different texts and schools. What are the linkages, for instance, between aesthetics, history, the subject, value, power, language, ideology, materiality, gender, sexuality, race, and colonialism? Through these question and some responses to them, the course aims to ensure that graduate students receive a rigorous introduction to critical theories and methodologies that will provide the basis for interdisciplinary conversation and intellectual community among students and faculty members from across the university.
