CHDV 32100 - Culture,Power,Subjectivity

Institution:

University of Chicago

Subject:

Description:

This course takes up the classic, yet endlessly fascinating, subject of the relationship of historically produced cultural structures and their relationship to individual and collective forms of subjectivity. We analyze the diverse ways in which classic social thinkers (e.g., Marx, Durkheim, Weber, Althuser, Bourdieu, Foucault) have thought about the relationship between individuals and collectivities. Topics include the ways in social and economic formations structure the possibilities for individual human action; the relationship between religious formations and historical transformations; the role of class in the inculcation of taste and desire; and the ways in which, throughout the nineteenth century, new power/knowledge formations have created new ways through which subject formation takes place.
