Learning outcomes
The course aims at providing examples of the contribution that History of political doctrines can give to the critical comprehension of political problems of current affairs. At the end of the course, students will have to prove that they: - accurately know the subjects of the program, - are able to expose them in a consequential and concise way, - have acquired independent judgement.
Program
Course title:
On the colour line: Du Bois, Fanon, Davis, (Montanelli) and us
Course content (for both attending and non-attending students):
1. Firstly, by focusing on classical political philosophers of modernity (Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Karl Marx) the course will investigate the main political doctrines that shaped politics in modern State (absolutism, liberalism, democracy, socialism).
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.
The debate on Indro Montanelli's monument in Milan will be taken into exam as an example of the removal of the colonial past in Italian public opinion. And the effect of this removal on the perception of immigration in Italy will be questioned.
Methods:
Lectures based on reading and interpretation of the texts and discussions.
Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, and in accordance with the University of Verona guidelines, classes might be held online.
