Program
Course title:
On the colour line: Du Bois, Fanon, Davis
Course content:
1. Firstly, the course will investigate the origin of some key-concepts (individual, individual rights, representation, State sovereignty) of modern political philosophy in the social contract theory.
2. Secondly - through William Edward Burghardt Du Bois, Frantz Fanon and Angela Davis - the course will analyse how the point of view of racialized subjects allows a radical critique of modern political thought, by the intersection of race, class and gender.
Methods:
Lectures based on reading and interpretation of the texts and discussions.
