Vakinhoudelijk
The following students are guaranteed a place:
- BA TCS or LAS;
- students who are registered for the minor Postcolonial Studies;
- pre-master’s students;
- exchange students.
The course addresses the main theories and debates in the study of the intersections of gender, racial construction, and cultural practices. Students will develop an understanding of race as a specific formation and object of inquiry within Postcolonial Studies as well as other related fields, such as Cultural Studies and Gender Studies. Particular emphasis is placed on introducing and sharpening key conceptual tools for analyzing the various intersections between the “postcolonial” and the social vectors of gender, race, ethnicity, class, and culture. The course examines postcolonial global realities, paying close attention to postcolonial configurations of the social and political terrains as well as the ways in which various expressive forms in the domains of artistic and cultural production have recorded and engaged with these shifts. Questions of power and global asymmetry, of social inclusion and exclusion, and of cultural representation and appropriation will be addressed in our analyses of authors and cultural products that contest, transgress, and rearticulate national boundaries and social identities. The course focuses especially on 'blackness', foregrounding the place of different concepts and debates - such as the intellectual and political project of Négritude, debates on syncretism, creolization, and colorism, and black feminist and queer critical theories - within the larger field of Postcolonial Studies. These concepts and debates are addressed through a close engagement with theoretical texts as well as audio-visual material (movies, documentaries, TV series).
This course is the second course in the minor Postcolonial Studies, for more information about this minor see: https://students.uu.nl/en/node/351/postcolonial-studies.
