Class Description:
This advanced graduate seminar, the first of a two-semester Basic Seminar sequence, offers a broad introduction to theoretical concepts and paradigms that are foundational for various disciplines in the humanities and the interpretive social sciences today, and in particular for the scholarly projects typically undertaken in the graduate programs in Comparative Literature and Comparative Studies in Discourse and Society. While the course is designed to teach core texts in the Western philosophical tradition from the early modern period through the present, we will pair both non-Western primary sources and recent critical reappraisals of Western philosophy with the usual (and less usual) suspects of that tradition. Throughout, we will unsettle the bedrock assumption that "philosophy" and "theory" are fundamentally Western ways of knowing--or that, whereas "premodern" cultures can be studied through a diverse range of local philosophical traditions, modernity (even in its non-Western guises) can only be studied through equally "modern" (read: Western) theories. Even as we trace "standard" genealogies of modern thought, then, we will interrupt and disrupt those genealogies at every turn. Ultimately, our goal in this seminar will be to explore the possibilities, the limits, and the perils of transcultural epistemic comparison. Readings will include selections from Bacon, Adorno and Horkheimer, Descartes, Ibn Khaldun, Vico, Hegel, Louverture, Marx, Kant, Marti, Tagore, Zhen, de Beauvoir, Fanon, Lorde, de Saussure, Volosinov, Derrida, Spivak, and Kilito.
