Description:

The course examines the place of animals in representations of Africa in order to understand how politics, resistance, and self-formation have changed through colonial and post-colonial struggles. We focus on a number of classic and contemporary literary, philosophical, cinematic and ethnographic works in which animals frame questions concerning what it is to be human, and what modes of social and political experience are possible in Africa today.
