2026S, scientific seminar (SEW), 4.0 ECTS, 2.0 semester hours, course number S05793
Scientific bachelor seminar for teacher education
Description
"Reading seminar" on fundamental theories concerning the relationship between fascism, colonialism, and liberalism. We will focus on texts by Claudia Jones, Aimé Césaire, Frantz Fanon, Domenico Losurdo, and George L. Jackson. We will not only critically explore what, how and who we read but also how these ideas relate to our present historical moment and our subjective-collective position inside systems of intellectual and artistic work, production and exploitation.
° We will primarily read and discuss in English. Making use of multiple languages and collective translating are always encouraged.
