Strategies of emancipation, forms of protest 3402-00SEFP-OG
During the seminar we will discuss the ideas of emancipation developed by the left since World War II, especially those that are connected to social movements (movements of protest). What is their relation to contemporary efforts aiming at changing the political system?
Through analyzing selected readings we will explore key issues in postwar Marxism, the revolution 1968, emancipatory readings of the New Testament (Martin Luther King, liberation theology). We will then consider various strategies of emancipation developed by Black Americans in the US, postcolonial, feminist and queer theories, finally we will consider the impact of conservative (counter)revolution and the history of alterglobalist movement.
The seminar conludes with a workshop durign which students present their own anthropological, sociological or philosophical research connected to contemporary forms of protest.
