- Course Catalog Description:
- Practical applications of specific methodologies and theories to a determined area. Topics vary by instructor and semester.
- Class Notes:
- We will attempt to answer the title's question, reading theoretical and philosophical accounts, and more programmatic statements (prefaces, manifestos, declarations). While some time will be spent in Europe (e.g., Lukács, Sartre, Arendt, Derrida, Levinas), our approach will be broadly comparative, taking up our guiding question as raised in various parts of the world - Oceania, the Pacific Rim, the Middle East, among other areas. Our emphasis will be less "what is literature?" than what literature can do, achieve or become (revolution, independence, decolonial, etc.). The course will appeal to students interested in literature and literary studies, as well as theoretical and philosophical approaches to aesthetics, and global artistic thought and practice.

- Class Notes:
- This seminar undertakes a reassessment of Frantz Fanon's Third-Worldist revolutionary project by examining most of his works alongside excerpts from relevant literary, political, philosophical, and psychoanalytic texts by other thinkers (e.g., Althusser, Césaire, De Beauvoir, Dolto, Du Bois, Gilroy, Glissant, Hegel, James (C.L.R.), Lacan, Lenin, Lukács, Macherey, Memmi, Merleau-Ponty, Nkrumah, Said, Sartre, Touré, as well as Deleuze & Guattari). The seminar will also engage with the renewed interest in and growing body of scholarship on Fanon in the twenty-first century, as well as with the reasons for this 'revival.'
