Class Description:
This course presents an interdisciplinary exploration of alterity and representation. It addresses themes of otherness and difference in the disciplines of philosophy, history, cinema, and literature. We will examine the strategies by which demarcations between Self and Other and corollary distinctions between high/low, First World/Third World, local/global, and masculine/feminine, are produced and deployed in various discursive formations. Readings will (1) take up the question of how the Other is imagined and constituted by Western forms of knowledge production; and (2) examine the possibilities for the Other's reformulation of dominant ideas about historical and political subjectivity. (Lecture-discussion; two papers; some familiarity with basic semiotic concepts and vocabulary is assumed.)
