ANTH 8960 - Historiography:Genealogy as Deconstructive Practice

Institution:

California Institute of Integral Studies

Subject:

Description:

What is the role of historiography in the constitution of counter-memory This course examines contemporary scholarship that intervenes in dominant regimes of truth and social relations of injustice. Engaging research, writing, and thinking that utilize genealogical approaches, including our own work, we will elaborate on "deconstruction as justice" (Derrida, Spivak) in feminist and postcolonial frames. Throughgenealogy, we will problematize present discourses and practices to proliferate critical reflection and social experimentation (Foucault). We will focus on analyses of nation, religion, and majoritarianism; gendered violence and resistance; self-determination struggles; diaspora, hybridity, and identity politics; international organizations, law, and transnational border crossings.
