Course content:
New theories for the 21st century
The working hypothesis of the seminar is that with the 21st century we are living in a new time, not only in terms of the calendar. In numerous disciplines there seems to be an awareness that we need fundamentally new questions, answers and methodologies in order to be able to meet the challenges of the present and the future. Therefore, 10 important book publications of the last 10 years in fields as diverse as anthropology, feminism, economics, climate theory or legal theory will be discussed. In addition to possible commonalities between authors as diverse as David Graeber, Philipp Descola, Benjamin Bratton, Dipesh Chakrabarty, Paul Preciado, Donna Haraway, Anna Tsing, Shoshana Zuboff, or Thomas Picketty, the seminar will also examine connections between different phenomena ranging from the Anthropocene to enrichment economics to surveillance capitalism.
Active participation during the seminar weeks is expected and will be discussed during the Teaching Agreement.
