If we examine the history of this concept- from classical philosophical and religious texts, to the courtroom contestations, protests, social movements of today - we find that the idea of justice is as resilient as it is elusive. Yet, it continues to be important today. Why? This course takes an interdisciplinary approach to the concept of justice. Students will be exposed to a variety of texts - in philosophy, political science and political economy, religion, anthropology, literature and law - and contexts (both historical and contemporary) in which the concept of justice has been raised, theorized and challenged. As the title of this course suggests, students will not only be tracing a variety of genealogies of justice, but also interrogating its conceptual limits. This course is divided in three parts.
